Lake McDonald LandscapeLake McDonald LandscapeI got lucky when this mama Common Merganser and her chicks came swimming across the stunning landscape of Lake McDonald in West Glacier. The lakes were vast, and we didn’t see a ton of waterfowl during our time in the park, so coming across this little brood with those incredible mountains as a backdrop was an extra-special treat. It was an unexpected moment and made an already beautiful view even more memorable.
