Common Mergansers: Photo by Josh in Bordentown, NJ

I am new to bird watching. Kids seems to be getting into to it. Do not know the name of the following ducks. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Josh

They are common mergansers. The male is being followed by the female. They are great fun to watch because they dive and catch fish.
