A large diving duck found in northern regions, with a long bill and sleek plumage; also called the common merganser.
Compound word: 'goose' + 'ander' (from Dutch 'eend' meaning duck). Named because it's large like a goose but is actually a type of duck, from Dutch naturalists' terminology.
Goosanders can dive deeper than almost any duck and swim underwater with their wings partially folded—they're like underwater aviators.
