      After so listening to ARMY cadences (they just about all talk about the airborne rangers) I found myself saying "airboooooooorne rangeeeers!" when I saw the little buggers jump.

    Fun fact - hooded mergansers and wood ducks will sometimes lay eggs in each other's nests. Their nesting habits and even incubation periods are virtually the same, so it's not unlikely that if you have both species in the area, you might see a few wood ducklings following a hooded merganser, or hooded merganser babies following a wood duck mother.

      animal's home. It
      is done on an extremely limited
      basis to learn about
      things that extend
      our horizons and
      discover ways to
      help the species
      survive. This is so
      blatantly obvious,
      yet you a call the
      people involved in
      this perverts? You
      should go to the
      game hunting channels where animals are wantonly slain for trophies and
      for "the thrill of the
      kill" and release your
      venom on THEM.

    So strange to me to hear these birds described as ducks and ducklings, even though they obviously are. There are loads of these on the little river near where I live in Scotland, but ever since I was a child, we always called them Goosanders, and in my head I saw them as something different from ducks, especially due to their differences.
    Cute though! I've seen goosander ducklings being pushed out of a tree by their mother before when I was young
