We were out paddling around the American River Parkway in Sacramento, California when we encountered these female common mergansers resting on this log that had fallen across this channel. This is just downstream from the Watt Avenue Bridge.
The merganser in the middle had its mouth open, while the merganser on the right was giving us the eye while trying to get some sleep. Mergansers are also known as fish ducks, since they feed on small fish by diving underwater and swimming after their prey.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
