Hooded Mergansers reach their southernmost wintering range in San Diego County and are noteworthy. However, I have found several this winter, starting in January (none earlier in fall).

Here are my encounters this winter:

2 birds at San Elijo Lagoon on January 11, 2015
7 birds at Lake Hodges on January 25, 2015
1 bird on Bayshore Bikeway, Imperial Beach on February 7, 2015
