    During this spring there has been a pair of male Common Mergansers =
on Grey Cloud Channel, Grey Cloud Island, Washington County.  The two =
seem to enjoy eachother, so Elizabeth and I feel they may be Gay. On a =
more serious note, I am wondering if other adult Common Mergansers have =
been observed in our area. In 40 years of observations on Grey Cloud =
Channel, I have not previously seen Common Mergansers during the month =
of May.  I have not observed these birds flying, so that may be the =
reason they did not go north.=20
