Every year in late October we start asking the question “When will Hooded Mergansers return?” Usually it’s in early November, around the 10th. This year they’re a little early! During our Bike & Bird activity on Friday, four were spotted at Jenkins Point. Three males and one female were happily splashing around in the lagoon.
One of the first signs of “winter” on Seabrook Island is when these beautiful ducks make their appearance, and many residents watch for their arrival. Keep an eye out at other locations as more are sure to arrive in the coming days. Let us know where you spot them!
