Week #27 A Merganser and Her Brood

Here you see Common Merganser ducks (Mergus merganser)! The adults eat mostly fish and the ducklings eat mostly aquatic insects (https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/common-merganser)  After some research it appears a group of ducklings are called a brood or clutch. While a group of ducks have been called many things, including: paddle, badling, brace, bunch, flock, paddling, raft or team.
