Ride of the Mergansers

I have had a subscription to the Earth Cinema Circle for years and rarely got around to actually watching the films until just recently.  So you will have to forgive me if I offer a bunch of posts on films from the circle.  I’m learning so much!!!

I loved Ride of the Mergansers.  It made me smile from ear to ear! It’s a wonderful short film!!! (It was on the Premier Collector’s Edition of Earth Cinema Circle.)  It’s not a heavy political film, just a beautiful film about some wonderful ducks that may soon become endangered because of human practices.

The Hooded Merganser is a rare, reclusive fish eating duck found only in North America (primarily in the Great Lakes region). The 11 minute film documents the newly hatched ducklings from birth to their great “leap of faith”.

Here’s a short clip…
