A few nights before Easter we had strong winds with some brief but moderate snow squalls come through our area.  The next day I went to one of my favorite small ponds for duck migration looking for Hooded Mergansers. As I pulled up to the pond it started snowing again and the winds were brisk.  The only bird I saw in the area was this Red Breasted Merganser which was out of place on this small but deep pond. I stayed with him for nearly two hours hoping for better conditions but the wind remained brisk with intermittent snow. The Merganser appeared all alone, but when I went back later in the day it had departed, hopefully for more hospitable waters.

Solitude, indeed! Love the snow and the hairdo! Great narrative as well.

Nicely done in those conditions, Warren - no wonder the 'hairdo' is on end!
