Text Appearing Before Image:
COMMON MERGANSER (Mergus merganser) Mergansers are fish-ducks, with small heads, elongated bills, and saw- edged mandibles for catching their slippery prey. Their bodies are elongated and they are more slender than most diving ducks. Although their diet is primarily fish, they also feed on mollusks, crustaceans, water insects and their larvae, and aquatic plants. The green head of the male is less crested than the female, and often appears black. The female, with a reddish head that displays more of a crest, also has a distinct white throat. The merganser is a common breeding bird on rivers and lakes in both parks.
Text Appearing After Image:
Goshawk (Immature) Ian C. Tait RED-TAILED HAWK (Buteo jamaicensis) Members of the Buteo family are large, thick-bodied, broad-winged hawks. In Yellowstone and Grand Teton the red-tailed hawk is the most common and widely distributed Buteo, but may be difficult to distinguish from Swainson's hawk. In both appearance and in their general ecology, the two species are similar. The reddish tail, and the generally lighter stomach and breast area of the red-tail help to distinguish it from the Swainson's hawk. Red-tailed hawks prey primarily on small rodents, including the Uinta ground squirrel. They soar effortlessly for hours in broad, sweeping circles or sit silently on exposed perches. Red-tailed hawks inhabit a wide range of habitats in both parks. Their shrill cry is one of the distinctly wild sounds of the Yellowstone and Grand Teton wilderness. 24
