--e89a8f838e89c7ee8504dd61ed99 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I was just watching some strange C Merganser behavior along the shore (L Torment, E Dalhousie, Kings Co). A lone male was corralling one female and driving off a group if 3 other females who were hanging around. Seems like breeding activity but I thought they would have nested long ago and the males departed. We do have a nest box nearby. Perhaps the cold spring has delayed things? I also find it strange that the male was driving off the other females- the more the merrier seems to the usual case for male ducks. Any comments?
