Merganser Family Along the Poudre caribou

Merganser Family Along the Poudre caribouAny encounter with a single one of these fish eating ducks is a treat, but I immediately envisioned a painting when I had the good fortune in midsummer to observe a Common Merganser female leading her brood of ducklings along the edge of the Poudre River. On that same outing, I noticed a monarch butterfly visiting the nearby flowers of swamp milkweed. So I combined these sightings in memory of a particularly delightful summer day. Original: 15 x 30

the garden changes almost daily as leaf colors gradually change from green to golden yellow and shades of red and orange

Usually it carries its prey to a perch before swallowing it

I then added the race name below each bird to help myself and others remember the plumage pattern of each race
