We don't have many Canvas Backs at all. 90% of our "ducks" are Common Mergansers. Mergansers are technically not ducks, but they quack and we all call them that. Ducks eat vegetation, these all eat fish/snails, crayfish etc. We have some loons too. Lots of calling this year. Mergansers pool families and we had two groups of over 19 each when we left. In fact I saw the Canvas back mom threat display twice to a small group of Mergansers who swam past her. So there must be a competition of sorts between the two types.(this was new to me) It is unusual to have tiny babies in very late August like those two. If the mink family had used our old dock pilings as a nursery (like they do every year) this year, those two ducklings would be gone in an instant. As it was, there were only two left. And we saw them 1/2 grown the day we left, so these two made it that far at least. They only come by us when it is calm. Lake Huron can be mighty rough!

I've only been to Copper Harbor in the UP....beautiful there too! Saw lots of black bears, big and small at the garbage dump! Foolish people getting out of their cars to take pictures.
Love those little baby ducks! .
