Alexia said...: Here's hoping that they all reach adult-duckhood! I feel so sad when I see a bunch of ducklings (a 'paddling' of ducks, according to Wikipedia)gradually dwindling as they are removed by predators...; July 7, 2013 at 6:20 PM
Jim H. said...: In the second pic, I'm wondering if the ducklets will learn they can't swim any further against that concrete wall and will either have to turn around or climb out.; July 7, 2013 at 8:33 PM
ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...: Yeah, she's got a plethora, B^4.

Jim H., in the video you can see one baby climb out and run along the edge.

mistah charley, ph.d. said...: ducklings are nature's way of feeding fox cubs etc, so it all works in the circle of life - it's energy going round and round, with a feeling frosting - not so nice sometimes, of course, but the creative forces of the universe must love predators, because they made so many of them
