Scaly-sided Merganser - Mergus squamatus	Anon Torimi	2016-01-02	Sai River, Kanazawa-shi, Ishikawa Prefecture, Ishikawa (Japan) (20 m)	male, wing beats - Sound when the bird took off. Wing beats of a common merganser (Mergus merganser) contaminated. I observed the bird for an hour and saw the bird opening the bills and some occasions of the 'head-up' position, but I could not recognize specific sounds. Small sounds could not be probably recorded due to the high background sound of running water. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no	298083 xeno-canto.org
