Hooded Mergansers, affectionately known as “Hoodies,” nest across most of the northern US and well into Canada. They're especially prevalent around the Great Lakes, though some winter as far south as Florida. By November, courtship and pair formation is well under way. And by early spring, Hoodies will seek out secluded woodland ponds, where they nest in tree cavities or manmade nestboxes. Hooded Merganser eggs are nearly spherical, with surprisingly thick shells. They're ideally suited to the Hooded Merganser's nest of choice — a cavity or a hole.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Need a brief review of the fixed income markets as we head into year-end? This five-minute Q&A with Merganser's CIO, Andy Smock, covers it all, including the path of interest rates, spread moves year-to-date, issuance patterns, our views across investment grade sectors, and our outlook for the macro environment. 

In fixed income, it is generally understood that bondholders are paid more to lend for longer, but with an inverted yield curve, this theory is being put to the test. How then, should investors position their short-term reserves in the current environment? Pile into money market funds which are currently outyielding short duration bond funds? Based on our analysis, the answer is not so simple. Hear from Merganser team members Alli Morse, Relationship Manager, as she interviews Todd Copenhaver, Deputy Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager. Together, they review historical performance of ultra-short and short duration bonds and explore the opportunity cost of allocating to each in various market environments.  

It has been an eventful start to 2023, and among many topics, the Debt Ceiling is once again in the spotlight.

Together, they summarize the current state of affairs, use of extraordinary measures, supply concerns for investors, and potential consequences if congress can't reach a deal. They also reflect on the lessons learned during  the 2011 US debt-ceiling crisis and offer clues to what may lie ahead.

Poet Joyce Clement writes haiku, a traditional Japanese form. While it's often thought of as having three lines with 5-7-5 syllables, Joyce says that the key elements of any haiku are a fragment and a phrase spoken in a single breath. In this sequence of haiku, Joyce juxtaposes punctuation marks with images of birds, drawing on their similar appearances, as well as meaning. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

Around this time of year, Common Mergansers cross the US-Canadian border on their way to wintering grounds in the Lower 48. But how do they know when to go? Ducks are well insulated against frigid winter temperatures, but mergansers can find their fishy prey only by diving below the surface of open water. So they're doing just fine, resting and feeding in southern Canada, until a thin veneer of ice forms on their lake, signaling the time has arrived to head south! Learn more at BirdNote.org.

In this weeks episode on the FowlMouth Podcast Jake and Denver go over duck stats, band reports, history of Arkansas Duck numbers and a few stories from this past season.

The Common Merganser is one of our biggest ducks, about the size of some loons. Although it's not closely related to loons, it has evolved a similar overall structure and predatory behavior. But a merganser has a unique feature: tooth-like serrations along the edge of the bill that help the bird grasp slippery fish. Common Mergansers nest in the northern states and Canada. So do loons. But loons nest on the ground at the edge of a lake, while the mergansers nest mostly in tree cavities and rock crevices near large lakes or along rivers. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

Show Notes 24:My Mixed Breed Dog Chester, Merganser Jerky, Training Mistakes, and Dog BackpacksLocations: Utah and WyomingI have always been a sucker for dogs. When I was a sophomore in college I made the mistake of stopping at the animal shelter and found Chester. Chester was WAY more expensive than I would have ever guessed and it took a lot of training to get him to do the things I wanted him to do but I am forever grateful that I was his human for all those years. We had a great time chasing birds and seemed to have an affinity for mergansers.  Get out there and live your stories!!If you are enjoying the stories and the podcast, I would really appreciate a 5 star review and please subscribe so you don't miss an episode. I would love to connect with you all at Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube! Original episode artwork created by Scott Simkins.Music Courtesy of Plum Stickie and used with Permission:Audley Crazy; Written by Plum Stickie; Performed by Plum Stickie

After leaving behind the dead moose carcasse in Thumb Lake we paddle through fresh air under sunny skies. The wind always seems to follow us with a gental push from behind helping ease the day of paddling. We encounter a couple of beaver dams and a few mergansers as we paddle our way to Ge-be-on-e-quet Lake.

Continuing our trip we leave the Devils Cascade and Lower Pauness and work our way North West towards Loon Lake. We have a gentle tail wind pushing us across the lakes while the warm sun shined down upon us. The fresh air and clean water engulfed our senses. A great time in the Boundary Water Canoe Area.
