 Lake Bemidji is getting some national attention this week after a photo of a mother duck with more than six dozen ducklings trailing behind her went viral. Reporter Cheryl Moore is live tonight to tell us more about that special photo, Cheryl. Thank you, Josh. The picture was taken by a local Bemidji photographer named Brent Cizek. The famous pic has since been featured in places like the New York Times, USA Today, People and the Smithsonian. A few news outlets in the cities have also picked up the story. There are exactly 76 ducklings following Mama Maganser, Maganser, sorry. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Bemidji chapter tells us it's actually not uncommon to see. With common Magansers there's a thing that they do where it's called crushing and that's where one female takes the ducklings from a whole bunch of different other females and she keeps all of those ducklings and she raises them. And so that's what this picture is. It's and it's called a crash. Rae vads that the Mama Maganser snapped in the photo is more than likely the grandmother or even the great grandmother to all the ducklings. Josh, back to you. Now, Cheryl, I mean, this photo has gone all over the world. I mean, obviously it's viral. What does the photographer think about all this international attention that this one photo is getting? Well, actually, we did have a chance to kind of talk to him through Facebook. He did give us a statement. He says all the support has been really great and it's been a little overwhelming at times trying to keep up with the media requests and other questions. But overall, it's been a really positive experience. I have learned so much about this species and it's exciting to know that other people have learned something from it as well. Alright, Cheryl, thank you very much for that live report. Rae also says it's common for a duck like golden eye also found in Bemidji to participate in a crash.
