We were out on the lake fishing and got to gawk at some cool birds. It was really neat to watch the pair of eagles. They were busy fishing along with us. They just sit up in the tree and look down in the water. As soon as a fish gets too close to the surface they just swoop down and grab it out of the water. These two will squawk at you if you catch something. They expect you to give up your catch to them. We didn't catch a fish close to them so we didn't get to hear them beg for our fish.
This Merganser just had all of these little ducklings. They were less than a week old and so cute stuffed underneath her. The biggest duckling rested a little apart from the group. He didn't need to snuggle up as close as the rest for warmth and protection because of his size. Mother merganser went to the water and the ducklings just followed right behind. It was amazing to watch the littlest ones go in last but take off like a shot once they were in the water.
