Apparently this is called a female “Common Merganser” What kind of name is that?
I’d call it an “Orange-footed Punk Rocker Diver Duck” Any other suggestions?

I came upon this lone Stilted Sandpiper recently. This is the first time I have photographed one. I liked and posted all the images because each one is unique, contrasting and combining this lively leggy bird with its surrounding environment.
