Merganser Ducklings

I love it when Mama Merganser parades her little ones past our house on the Alsea River!  One or two always seem to hitch a ride on her back.

At least until she dives.  If they’re going to get stronger, they’ve got to do it on their own!

    This is so adorable! I was amazed at how fast they are.
