A Merganser and a trio of Golden Eyes share he same log in the Sturgeon River

These golden eye ducklings seem to been left on their own, the canada goose looked like it was chasing them but there was no obvious signs of aggression, and I have seen the same behaviour with their goslings (see here http://www.wildstalbert.com/WildStAlbert/Large-Birdlife/i-gpvLfnW/A ) so maybe it is just taking care of things?
