Awww, isn’t it adorable? This duck laid her eggs in this planter on the front of this house. She came back and sat on the eggs for hours a day, and then a few weeks later, the ducklings hatched. I happened to be taking pictures of the little duckies when their momma decided it was time for them to leave the nest. She kept quacking to them and then jumped down. The ducklings plopped out of their nest, then followed their mom across the porch, landing on rocks a good two feet below. (I winced watching it) See the baby under the momma’s tail feathers?
Then they followed their momma all the way around the house
and down the backyard to the creek behind it. And yep, they were off.
So very cute.
