We see them every year about this time. Some try to travel upstream, and we saw them a couple days ago in the Minge Brook (Minge Cove in West Alton) and also in the brook at West Alton Marina. Each year, about a week or two from now, others come into the shallow areas around our docks to lay eggs. They stay for about three weeks, and then they disappear. It's a wonder any of the eggs survive, as the mergansers love to feast on them!
