Check out these tiny fluff-balls bravely venturing into the water under their mother's watchful eye! Hooded merganser moms lead their chicks to water shortly after they hatch, sometimes up to a mile away from the nest. The chicks can swim and dive right after hatching, and the mother helps by carrying them on her back. | Northwest Trek Wildlife Park

Our keepers recently found an abandoned clutch of eggs from one of our hooded merganser hens in a nest box in the Northern Ponds exhibit. With the Ornithology Department's significant experience artificially incubating eggs and handrearing birds, the decision was made to set them in our incubators and care for any baby birds that may hatch. In the incubator, the eggs are kept at a consistent warm temperature and humidity. Our keepers check on the egg development by candling them – holding a stro

From chicks to ducklings and every fledgling in between, a new generation of birds is cropping up, like these Hooded Mergansers swimming with mom—and we’re hard-pressed to think of anything cuter. Have you come across any baby birds this spring? bit.ly/4btQNZ5 | National Audubon Society

After just two days in care, this male Hooded Merganser has been released! This patient was admitted after being attacked by a hawk. During the attack, they hit the roadway and the hawk flew away. Mergansers, similarly to loons and grebes, do not have great mobility on land due to their anatomy - their legs are set very far back to help assist in diving. Thankfully an observer knew what to do, collected the bird, and brought him in for care. Despite a harrowing escape with death, this merganser

The Hooded Merganser is often found around the freshwater lakes and rivers of the Colorado Front Range during the migration seasons, but some will stay year-round, building their nests in tree cavities or nesting boxes near freshwater ponds and lakes. Mergansers are excellent divers, feeding on fish, crawdads, and other crustaceans and aquatic insects. Their serrated bills are ideal for fishing, and they are sometimes referred to as “sawbills.” Greenwood Wildlife is currently caring for one Hood

This hooded-merganser wood-duck hybrid is really close to our hearts here at Wildwoods. This is the first hybrid of this nature that we have raised. In fact, we had to wait until she was almost an adult to be able to tell what she was! When she arrived as a duckling, we could only guess. We tried to find companions for her while at Wildwoods, but none worked out. When it was time to acclimate her to the outdoors, she was housed first next to our common mergansers and then next to our mallards so
