Ride of the Mergansers

Overview

The Hooded Merganser is a rare and reclusive duck found only in North America. Every Spring in the Great Lakes region, the wary hen lays and incubates her eggs in a nest high in the trees. Just 24 hours after hatching, the tiny ducklings must make the perilous leap to the ground below to begin life in the wild. Ride of the Mergansers is a heartwarming blend of natural history, humor, and suspense that will leave you with a newfound appreciation of the phrase "leap of faith."
