This common merganser mom only has one little one to watch over at this point. It sticks pretty close to her and sometimes clambers right up onto her back when it gets alarmed.
I see the pair nearly every morning as Baloo and I walk up the road beside the bay. I think the duckling is rather a late one. It's going to have to do some fast growing to be ready for migration - right now, its wings are way too short!

I love mergansers! They are a lot of fun to watch. Cute hairdo on the girls too!
Hi, Melanie! It's fun to watch them swimming along with their heads underwater, too. :)
