One such location is Germany, where a common merganser female can be seen gracefully swimming with her young on her back and around her. This heartwarming sight showcases the strong bond between mother and offspring. In another mesmerizing scene captured in Germany, a female common merganser proudly leads seventeen adorable ducklings through the water.

In Upper Bavaria, Germany, a tiny goosander chick can be seen eagerly hunting for mayflies. This image highlights their natural instincts and adaptability from an early age. Historical illustrations provide us with glimpses into the past. A large merganser depicted in a colorful lithograph reminds us of the diverse species that have fascinated artists throughout history.

Waterbirds have always captivated human imagination due to their beauty and diversity. A colored engraving featuring different kinds of waterbirds showcases the stunning variety present in our natural world. One particular species that stands out is the hooded merganser or goosander - depicted in a vibrant chromolithograph - which displays its unique features with pride. Its striking appearance makes it easily recognizable among other waterfowl. Another lithograph captures the essence of this bird by focusing solely on its majestic presence – highlighting every detail from its sleek feathers to its piercing gaze.
