Common Mergansers (all 3 TN Mergansers)

Big Sandy Unit, TNWR Henry Co TN

There were at least 8 Common Mergansers (2 adult male and 6 female type) looking back to the east from Rocky Point. Had all 3 TN Mergansers in this frame with a male and 2 female Common. As I was leaving there was also a pair in the bay at Bennetts Creek.

Sam, yep, maybe my comment wasn't very clear. There are several Red-breasted and Hooded Mergansers along with the Commons. I don't know if I've gotten all 3 TN Mergansers in the same frame before, thus the all 3 TN Mergansers in the title of the photo. Good catch though, not the best of shots these birds were a long way off.

Isn't there a red-breasted merganser in there? The one just right of the middle looks like one. I may be wrong, but just wanted to check.
