Description
A Common Merganser out for a swim teaching the little ones how to fish and respond to different situations. Here they are relaxed as mother bobs her head in and out of the water looking for minnows. I believe there is about 19 ducklings. Not sure if she is taking care of some for other mothers while they catch up on sleep. Picture taken at Dogtooth lake in Ontario part of Eagle Dogtooth provincial park.
