Today's the first day I've actually seen Mrs. Duck on her nest. She usually lays an egg and leaves before I go outside. I counted the eggs while she was gone and it's up to 8.

Mallards typically lay 8-12 eggs. Had 12 last year but only half hatched. We'll see how many do this year in about a month.

She does! She's probably thankful I added more leaves for her, though she also pulled up some of my dead dianthus to use, too.

Moved some plants around today while Mrs. Duck sat on her nest. Just as I finished, she started covering her nest up, which I knew meant she was getting ready to leave. After a bath in the pond for about 5 minutes, she wandered off. Last count was yesterday, 10 eggs.
