Common mergansers, a mother with 28 chicks. Obviously a communal nest. I've seen this with wood ducks also.

Gotta love the little ones The second shot is my favorite , but the last with the one hitching a ride is special.

Adorable pictures!! The First and Second are great - third is good but the lighting hurt, lighting can be such a pain when you really can't do anything about it!! (besides adding a ton of grain)

Thanks Birdie. The little one riding is cute. He/she just decided to jump up. I'm not sure it happens very often when the merganserlings (is that a word?!!!), are this old.

Thanks James. With todays cameras and processing we can make up for a lot of "ills". This photo was rescued as well as I can do it.
By the way, would you be "thee" Jim Larsen!
