Fun fact - hooded mergansers and wood ducks will sometimes lay eggs in each other's nests. Their nesting habits and even incubation periods are virtually the same, so it's not unlikely that if you have both species in the area, you might see a few wood ducklings following a hooded merganser, or hooded merganser babies following a wood duck mother.

They don't and could not possibly place cameras in every animal's home. It is done on an extremely limited basis to learn about things that extend our horizons and discover ways to help the species survive. This is so blatantly obvious, yet you a call the people involved in this perverts? You should go to the game hunting channels where animals are wantonly slain for trophies and for "the thrill of the kill" and release your venom on THEM.

So strange to me to hear these birds described as ducks and ducklings, even though they obviously are. There are loads of these on the little river near where I live in Scotland, but ever since I was a child, we always called them Goosanders, and in my head I saw them as something different from ducks, especially due to their differences. Cute though! I've seen goosander ducklings being pushed out of a tree by their mother before when I was young
