I saw a first for me today. Biggest flight of common mergansers I've ever seen. 20-25. They landed outside my spread just past it, and into the wind of course. And really put on a show. They turned around and started down wind diving. Everybody would dive at one time. And everybody came up at the same time. If someone was slow to dive or surface, they would try to get ahead of the group when on top, which wasn't very often. They were really swimming very very fast, both under the water and above it. They swam 100 yards down wind. Then worked around in a circle, and back into the wind in front of my spread. The way they were working reminded me of waterturkeys when they lineup and drive the shad to the back of a cove in coordination. Only waterturkeys don't all surface and dive at the same time. I've shot both common and hooded mergansers a number of times before. But the size of this group was a real surprise for me.
