I always thought that woodpeckers were strictly insectivores. We were observing two Pileated Woodpeckers pecking for food in a poplar tree. Suddenly, the female flew to a Red Osier bush nearby and spent about 5 minutes picking and swallowing the white berries!
I went on Road 22, South Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada to familiarize with the area for futur birding trip. I spotted three ducks on the on the river. I thought from the bill lenght and hook that it might be a merganser. But the colour did not match any of what I knew about the Merganser species. I used the Merlin app to get some input. It suggested Hooded Merganser. I then when on All About Birds site to get more information about Hooded Merganser. The bird on this photo looks like a juvenile Hooded Mergenser.
Am I correct?
