Our winter is very mild, early in the week it was 80 F., 26.6 C., and everyone wore short sleeves and some even shorts. Rain is rare and always welcome in a desert climate.
But we just got a short but BIG rain that hit the windows and sent Rena down behind the bed. What WAS that???

The Red-breasted Merganser is a shaggy-headed diving duck also known as the "sawbill"; named for its thin bill with tiny serrations on it that it uses to keep hold of slippery fish. It breeds in the boreal forest on freshwater and saltwater wetlands.
