This duck is an adult female Common Merganser. I don’t recall ever seeing such a duck near where I live, but they were abundant on our visit to Glacier National Park last year.
Female Common Merganser
The Common Merganser has a long bill with serrated edges and a hooked tip to help grip slippery fish, a favorite food. Isn’t her spiky hairdo so stylish? 🙂
Grogeous painting and yes the “do” is awesome.
That is quite the duck. Love the spiky hairso,
She’s so life like! Love the up do.😊
Love her and the hairdo!! 😊❤️
