A Common Merganser mother duck in Bemidji, Minnesota, would win an award for being the best duck mother. She takes her ducklings for walks and swims with them to care for them. This duck is really cool!
A 32-year-old photographer from the area named Brent Cizek recently took a cute picture of a mother duck and her more than 50 cute ducklings. He put the beautiful picture on his Instagram and Twitter accounts. The picture was seen by the Audubon Society, a group of people who care about birds and their environments. This led to more people in the Bemidii area seeing the big group of ducks quacking. According to what Cizek told the Audubon Society, he had seen a mother duck with about 20 ducklings before, but never anything like this.

A few months later, Cizek saw a big group of people at the beach again. They were taking a break before going back into the water this time.
A mother duck can hatch up to 20 eggs at once, but it’s not normal for her to have 50 ducklings. It looks like the mother duck in the pictures took on the role of a father for the lost babies and they became attached to her. Even though it’s great that you have a lot of ducklings, keep in mind that one mother duck can only take so much.
