Tales from the Lagoon.

The Mergansers.

   
 
A few female merganser went searching for food.
 
   
 
They looked into the water.
 
   
 
And then they spotted some small crabs deep down.
 
   
 
They dove down and started catching them.
 
   
 
Then the males were attracted to the area.
 
   
 
The males quickly got into the action, diving down for the crabs.
 
   
 
The females realized that the bully boys had arrived and decided to leave.
 
   
 
Then the boys decided to court the girls.
 
   
 
The females did have a little twinkle in their eyes.
 
   
 
So the boys started to smarten themselves up.
 
   
 
They looked very impressive, all dolled up and ready to go.
 
   
 
Quickly, they each eyed a female.
 
   
 
And off they went, but that is another story.
