Very early Friday morning, even before first light, as I was driving toward Borrego Springs, I came across a Red-breasted merganser standing in the middle of the road on highway S3 on the north flank of Yaqui Pass. I stopped and tried to grab it but it semi flew off the road. I hope it can take off once the sun rises, but it may not be able to. A true very rare migrant in the open desert. The poor thing.....
