Common Merganser Family In Explore sept 21/22
Common mergansers have serrated edges along their bills to help catch and hold their favorite food, fish. Because of this feature, common mergansers are in a group of birds referred to as “sawbills.”
Common mergansers have large clutches of about six to 17 eggs. After the eggs hatch, the babies will follow mom — the sole provider for the ducklings — around in a long train. Sometimes broods will join together into larger groups of 40 or more ducklings.
