Our new baby ducklings

We have been watching a duck recently, having her babies in our front yard! It has been the coolest thing, especially for the kids to watch. Everyday we'd go outside and just see the duck sitting there on her eggs. It was a couple weeks that she did that, then they finally hatched! Unfortunately they hatched then headed off to the lake in the neighborhood before we could even really see them. My mom did get a great picture of the babies though, so the kids could see them.


She made her nest of feathers and sat on her eggs for a long time!


There you can see one egg next to her that has already hatched. After they hatched, she still sat on them, and it was hard to see them under her wings.


A closer look at her and the eggs
All of her babies....sooo cute!!!

This is how her nesting spot looks now...so sad not to have babies there anymore.
