Meet your neighborhood Hooded Mergansers, first seen and filmed today. They are hard to recognize in their nonbreeding plumage, but they are pretty amazing birds. This was filmed this morning by our own Moses Silva. Happy Valentine’s Day!

EBRP walk update! Ted Radke reported seeing three wooduck recently at the fourth dam. Now that would be a treat to see. Park Godfather Hulet Hornbeck was there and gave me praise for helping the beavers and striking fear in the hearts of our city council. Igor talked about the flood management plan, and we were fortunate to see a muskrat swim by. All in all, it was a fine event.
