This is so cute and what a super capture the ducklings look like bubbles surrounding mamma. The arrangement of centre focus shows this beautiful nature scene at its best. The limited colours and surround of water really enhance the view.

This is surely a cute post. The Mother looks like she has her work cut our for her for a while. I wonder if there is a pecking order on getting to to the free ride on her back. Maybe those that grow the fastest? or offer bribes?
Very nice camera skills shown on this image (as always).

Thank you very much Allan! I’m not sure how they get their place on moms back, I just think it’s the cutest thing ever!

Cute overload at first glance. I fell in love with the scene of the Mama Merganser with some little ones on her back and the rest that surrounds her are just so cure. Great angle, lighting and focus. I like how you have provided sufficient negative space all around as the moving space. A refreshing scene.

Pat...What a great capture of this mother Merganser with her many babies! I love how they have clustered around and on her to make their journey across the lake.
A lovely clear image and nicely centred in the frame!

OMG Pat, this is just SO adorable! I can see where she would definitely have her wings full dealing with this sizeable brood of cuties! What a great capture; focus and exposure are excellent, the whole scene is beautifully composed; lucky you to eat to see and photograph them!

A great nature shot, Pat, showing this busy Mother Merganser. (I'm not familiar with this waterbird). She has a rather unusual look. But the clarity is so good with a lot of detail shown and the chicks are adorable.

Hi Pat, I see mother Merganser surrounded by her ten chicks trying to hop on. This is a beautiful bird and you captured her in a mothering scene so beautifully. Very enjoyable and cute too. Ray

Pat,
A wonderful picture of the Merganser surrounded by her ducklings some travelling on her back. The sky reflected on the water around the Merganser mum. Wonderful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
