Mergus serrator - Red-breasted Merganser XC139389

Description:

Description: Two segments from a pair of birds. It's unclear whether the calls were from the male or the female or both. In the first segment, there were several calls in flight before landing about 20m from where I stood along the shore of the lagoon. After landing, they swam slowly toward me and watched me from a distance of 5-10m for about 15 minutes. The second segment is the same pair calling uas they flushed from the water and flew away. Recorded with internal microphones of Olympus LS-10S. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no Common name: Red-breasted Merganser Type: flight call Genus: Mergus Species: serrator Location: Big Bay State Park, Ashland, Wisconsin Elevation: 190 m.
