Red-breasted Mergansers
Is it dangerous to swim on a full stomach?
Yes. It’s better to swim in water.
Interesting Fact: The Red-breasted Merganser breeds farther north and winters farther south than the other American mergansers. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-breasted_Merganser/lifehistory )
