MERGANZERS

OK I AM A FEW DAYS LATE WITH THIS POST BUT LAST TUESDAY WAS A NEAT VACATION DAY IN THE CREEK.  CAUGHT SOME NICE FISH LIKE A 14 INCH SMALLY AND A ROCK BASS THAT WAS ABOUT 9 INCHES...A REAL BEAUTY. BUT THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS DAY WAS A MOTHER MERGANZER TEACHING HER BABYS TO SWIM UNDERWATER AND THIS SHOW WENT ON FOR ABOUT 30 - 40 MINUTES.  MOM WOULD GO ACROSS THE CREEK AND THEN SHE MUST HAVE GIVEN THE DUCKLINGS SOME  KIND OF SIGNAL BECAUSE THEY ALL IN UNISON WENT ACROSS THE CREEK LIKE MOM. I HAVE WADED THE CREEK FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A SHOW LIKE THIS.
