Tufted duck?
Spotted these guys off the shore of Samoset/Gunstock Acres on Saturday. Are they a flock of tufted ducks?

I think they are probably mergansers. The black & white ones are males and the brownish ones with reddish heads are females.

Seems odd that a large flock like that has zero females, no?

We always see lots of males in the spring and then in the summer they disappear leaving the femaies with babies.
