I thought my readers might like a little update on the Mama Duck/ducklings situation.
Last week, I posted that Mama had originally arrived with seven babies about ten days ago, but by last Wednesday, she was down to four.
And now, she has three. She continues to bring them to visit, and they are allowed in our garage where they dine on cracked corn and have their own little flowerpot saucer swimming pool/water dish.
Last night, after they’d gone back outside, I happened to walk by and catch this cute picture of the little ones having a nap.
I’m sure Mommy needed a little rest, too. She’s always on guard with those little ones.
My friend, Donna, said she’d like to see a video of the ducklings coming when they see me in the yard. This footage is a little rough: it’s hard to focus and walk through the yard at the same time. (Volume up, because, yes, I talk baby-talk to the littles.)
Here’s hoping Mommy can help these three babies continue to survive.
