7-3-6 Mom and babies

From yesterday at Lake Tahoe. I should probably know what kind of bird this is..but I don't. Her babies were riding on her back much of the time.

Fun capture. Always neat to see mom giving a piggy back rides. I believe this is
some kind of Grebe bird. V.

Excellent! A bonus when you get the babies with mom. I've never seen that, but then again, I don't often see mergansers.

Debbie, this is a female Common Merganser. Two is a very small brood. Here is a shot I took on the American River a couple years ago.http://www.pbase.com/stevephoto/image/35348309
