I hadn't been checking the upper portion of the river very often this summer so I decided to wander along its Pine and Cedar laden shores yesterday afternoon. The trees gave me camouflage and sheltered my presence allowing me a leisurely paced photo opportunity. Beautifully arranged upon a large rock in the middle of the river was this group of female and juvenile Common Mergansers. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRtjmDqZ8zs-uGm4Ahr9XjyF7uveNmg6mxszF3kC65G60CuLT7wRkbMHtgY9pdyW6S1yv-R0qzTBu1PyBHF9xy5UCrpZclkvITfZDI5JQ7vZ7OoJgl-ullBuGprXy9YL3jB9m9VQ/s400/common+mergansers+140807+(8).jpg)

Then later, while watching them slowing slide into the river and swim upstream; I was able to count 14 in all.
