One of our photographers snapped this picture of a momma duck taking her ducklings (and friends?) up the river. These aren't your ordinary run-of-the-mill ducks, these are rough, rugged, and just generally awesome river ducks.

These little guys will swim upstream through the rapids and even under the water. They do pretty much everything a rafter will do, even catching eddies!

So next time you are in the area and are doing some Ohiopyle rafting, if you pay attention and are lucky, you might even see some ducks on the river. Just remember to respect the wildlife!
