I saw a Great Blue Heron perching on a tree in the backyard.

We don’t get to attached to the duckling as most don’t live very long. This Hen got 3 to survive.

The ducklings are being picked off one by one.

There was a flurry of feathery activity the past 2 afternoons. New ducklings, bug catching phoebe and squirrel hating crow.

This afternoon some newly hatched duckling made an appearance. Of course this brought out the predators and a angry drake. I attempting to capture these images and not burn the pork I was grilling.

Sandy alerted me to the new family.

Sadly as usual they only last 24 hours.
