We have baby ducks

[RobAmy]

What a great morning at the pond. Mom and 8 babies showed up this morning. No pictures as I do not want to scare them. Hopefully they will be regular visitors.

The babies are fun to watch. They are jumping around for the bugs. They all had some cracked corn.

I have go to work but hopefully I can get some pics in the next few days.

8 babies! That's so fun! I've been watching our mallard pair for babies, but they must be nesting elsewhere and just using my pond as a spa! A small getaway for momma duck!

Aren't you feeling a little peaked @RobAmy ? You don't look so good... maybe you need to go home and (ahem) rest a bit!

Aww that must be so cool to have by the pond!
I have ducks regularly visiting the feeders, but they've never brought their babies!
The Cranes and turkeys do bring their babies, but I've never had ducklings!
This year I have a male with two female Pheasant that come to the feeder a few times a day, do they walk around with their babies? I would love to see that!

Very cool! Ducks are awesome and babies more so.

How cool! We also have them, we are feeding a mom and dad and their 9 babies, on our front porch! I will try for a pi

The ducks stayed a bit today, my wife was home and gave me updates at work. They left for a bit then came back. They where still here when I got home from work.

Years ago we had a male that came to our feeder only once a day and every day it was exactly 4:10 in the afternoon...then one day it stopped coming

@RobAmy Alas I am sad, I have a net which would keep them out so I can only have fake ones................just not the same, but love seeing the ones you get. Do they come every year as it seems they do?
Nothing much cuter than a little ducky face!
