Merganser Ducklings for Saturday Critters
We have had a wonderful week finding ducklings. These Merganser Ducklings seem to be quite advanced in age as is seems that they have already learned how to fish!

mergansers are fish eaters and fish is their main food. The next picture shows another lucky catch!The duckling on the far right has has a fish in its bill!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful sighting of the Merganser family, 14 chicks is a lot.
They are all so cute! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend!
Your photos are wonderful! It's so nice to see somewhat unusual ducks; there are too many mallards in the world.

Hello.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sighting. I like Mergansers.
Some Merganser females adopt/steal ducklings from other females, establishing large broods.
