Merganser americanus. 1907 Mergansers americanus L.s. Amery Aug 5 In a sheltered cove behind ✓ B. Point (off. Kokoda) I came suddenly on a nest of 6 young Mergansers this afternoon, gathering about 1/2 mile from which already fairly well started they took at once to the stream which was then rather large & deeply covered in the bushes, I ran the canoe in and waited... In about five minutes two of the birds emerged from another corner and floated half way to the water. Just rapidly to the water and set at about dozen adult nest and soon after arrived here. Then the last drawing them together was seen other face both these were much lean August 17th towards point for the mother took the entire brood & this afternoon again fleeing out of deep water. The old bird cocked her bill young went in ahead.
