I saw this bird this morning around 11 on the Whitewater river. It would dive staying under for quite awhile.

Thanks for your help.

It's a Common Merganser.

Take care,

Thanks Mike,
My old field guide showed green head & yellow bill, but in the description it says "bill and feet red" I should have studied further. I think a guide update is in order.

Bob,
Were you the gentlemen walking the dog? If so, I saw 7 Common Mergs on the Great Miami right after we talked.
Cheers,
Bill
