Today I was watching a group of 15 Common Merganser females at the mouth of the Petite River (Lun Co.) Is it normal for these ducks to congregate in single-sex gatherings at this time of year?

I saw no male Common Mergansers anywhere while birding in this area today but plenty of Red-Breasted Mergansers in groups containing both males and females.
