Hello birders,
Today, October 27, 2026, at 7:40 AM, I photographed two Hooded Mergansers (male and female) on Fern's Lake at Pine Mountain Club.
According to eBird, the previous observation of this species at that location was recorded in February-March 2019.
If interested, here's my eBird report, with attached photos:

Also, I photographed a feather that clearly belonged to a raptor, perhaps a Red-shouldered Hawk.
I'm attaching a link to my photo, and I would appreciate any comments/corrections: https://flic.kr/p/2sJEdty
Good birding,
Alexander Viduetsky
