I am new to birding and are having trouble identifying these two species. Can anyone please confirm?
(Pic 5 is a common merganser for comparison)
They were taken at Beechy Head Jan 30. I think the first 4 are red-breasted mergansers because of the lack of clear white throat/chest on the female and the Brandt's cormorant because of the orange patch b on the throat.
Thanks!
