"If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck"
~Proverb quote
Way back on May 26, I did a blog posting about the mother duck who made her nest right near the front door of our cottage...
Because of all the packing and getting ready to move, we missed seeing the little ducklings. By the time we got back to the cottage, this is all that was left...
Yup, three eggs never hatched, but in the photo above you can see some of the broken shells...
Two years ago, I was able to get photos of the mother and her ducklings shortly after they hatched, and I was able to do a blog posting about them...
And I got up early the next morning, courtesy of Mr. Cottage, and was able to see the mother take her babies to the lake for the first time...
Hopefully, we'll have more ducks laying their eggs around our cottage, because it is a really neat sight to watch.
I love watching animals, they are so much fun. My neighbor has two ducks in her backyard and one day while watering my flower beds some water went through the fence. Her white duck hurried over and bathed and drank through the fence. It was so much fun. Now every time I water, I make sure to let some water run through the fence. He (or she, I don't know) comes running over to get a drink. I can not wait until my granddaughters visit to introduce them my new feathered friend.
