| This is the most inclusive shot I took. Note that there are birds all the way to the edges. I think there were some outside the photo as well. |
Called "Count the Commons".
Mergansers that is, Common Mergansers.

| A portion of the frantic raft o' ducks |
This little flow of water around the edge of an island at Yankee Hill Lock was crammed with them. It was impossible to count through the bins so I took photos.
A lot of them.
However, between the rocks among them and the number with their heads under water a rough count is the best I could do.
*Hint-there are more then 20.
Let me know what you think, as I have to finish my eBird checklist for the location.
Thanks.
But wait, there's more!
Or should I say there were more. At least 14 additional birds were resting on rocks downriver a bit.
It was a fish duck extravaganza.
