hard to see here, but this was a mama duck with 2 little ones following close behind:
Later in the day - while sitting on our back porch during the early evening, look who we discovered making use of the muskrat lodge in the marsh pond out back!
again it's hard to see here, but through binoculars we could see a mama duck with a bunch of fuzzy ducklings squirming under her - so cute! They stayed there all evening - (we think they're mallards)
(closeup detail - sorry that this is the best my camera could do, bummer)
