Looks like a prototype for Jabba the Hutt!

Here's a female Common Merganser (I prefer the Brit name - "Goosander")

The top half of the bird's beak seemed to be broken. I wonder if it will survive.

Thank you both, guys!

Hi ZZeitg

Is he happy or warning you ?

Considering the sound he/she made (yapping at me), I would say it was combination of being surprised, curious and a little scared.

You're right - but it does seem pretty healthy otherwise.

FYI: The exact number of living bird species isn't know precisely - there may be unrecognized species; there may be two named species that are actually just color variants; there are certainly some very rare species that have gone extinct since they were last seen and counted - but, most agree there are about 10,000 species*. Tricky to know how to identify every one of them.

*One source attempted a precise count and came up with 10,404, with the addendum: it is probable that 101 of those on the list are now extinct.
