    Today at Aquatic Park in Berkeley, Jean & I also saw all three merganser 
    species. The male hooded merganser was in his accustomed place in the 
    middle pond, on the east end.
    
    We also saw _two_ female hooded mergansers swimming together in the big 
    pond. We first saw them from the pier on the east side of the pond, then 
    they seemed to be swimming along with us as we walked north. We lost 
    them about where the playground is.
    
    We also saw ten or twelve red breasted mergansers here and there on the 
    big pond.
    
    Them we saw a common merganser near the place where they have bikes for 
    disabled people.
    
    We also saw a lot of the common suspects. 28 species in all.
