We present the first records of the Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator) in the Colombian Caribbean, with photo-graphic evidence. The presence of this species in the islands of Old Providence and Saint Andrew (i.e., Providencia and San Andrés) probably relates to erratic movements outside its regular fall migration range, perhaps as a result of a severe winter in North America and the occurrence of cold fronts in the Caribbean when the birds were recorded.
