We spotted these Mallard ducklings across the lake over the weekend. There are 9 of them…9 little puffs of fluff sticking close to Mama and making all kinds of sweet little duckling noises. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I’ve been telling the girls to expect some ducklings soon, so I was elated when I noticed them swimming about!
So far they’ve been staying by the natural preserve across from our lot, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of them as they get older. There are a couple of Canadian Geese that have been behaving very aggressively towards these little guys, so Mama Duck is understandably keeping them as protected as she can.
We’ll be keeping an eye on our ducklings, so you can probably expect a few more updates over the next few months!
How sweet with them swimming in a row! Love it!
How adorable!
So sweet! We had the pleasure of “hosting” a mommy duck and her nest in the corner just outside my mom’s garage for a few years - it was so much fun watching the eggs, seeing the babies grow and follow their mama around. Eventually it seems she moved somewhere with less activity
Wow! That is a really lovely picture.
Oh the cuteness! That just gives me instant permasmirk.
