IBLILLETINS FROM BIRDLAND Vflnirnsilfia. wiisott A WHOLE DOZEN I our fun with the American Mer- gamers began early in July, when we first spied 12 very small duck- ling: paddling down the lake after their big mother. However. long lit.-fore that we knew Mergaiisers were living in I clump of rocks just. 5 trifle back from the water line, 75 yards or so from our t':harf. In mid-May Mr. and Mrs. liept flying low over the lake. their long, white bodies hold hori- zontslly. Occasionally he flew alone. his very dark green Iieatl showing up in contrast to his white neck; at other times we re- cognized the female because of her reddish-brown, crested head and large, square. white wing-patch. It wIs interesting to watch them catchi ,, their dinner near the shore. Diving under the water. they used both feet and wings for the sake of speed, and came up several yards Iyvay, grasping I chub or it sucker in their slender, cylindrical bills. Fishing is made casy for Mergansers because their bills have tooth-like edges. and the upper section ends in I sort of hook. The slippery prey can- not escape. , Their favourite time for talking was early morning and rate even- ening. when their quacks sounded like distant barking. One morning in late June Mr. Merganser gave quite In exhibition of quacklng and flying in circles over the roof of the cottage, so low that we could hear the swish of the sil- very-lined wings. and plainly see hlr. peach-coloured breast. Baby Mergansers Ire Ible to swim I: soon as they break through their creamy-buff shells, but they require help at mealtime and protection. A: father had de- serted. all duties fell on mother. "Quack, quack", she called. Ind they followed her over the surface of the lake, the whole dozenstrung cut in 1 row, bobbing along like wavelets. Their backs shone sil- ver in the sun. their heads red. as their mother's. When motor boats came too close she gathered the family, and herded them ahead of her. guiding them gradually to I secluded bay. There she taught them fishing. First one little head dluppelred under water. then In- of ice-cream and cake and I social was enjoyed. hour other.
