Wood Duck with Ducklings

Wood Duck
The Wood Ducks on Grassy Lake, the pond by my office parking lot, are now the proud parents of four little ducklings.  This morning I saw the mom with the four ducklings, and as she swam around the lily pads, the ducklings would walk on top of them following her around.  It looked like they only entered the water to get to another lily pad. The dad was on the other side of the lake with his wallet showing all the other birds his photos and handing out cigars.

  1. Love your anthropomorphism (animals acting like humans) - I bet the daddy duck was quite proud. Lovely pics.

  2. You are forgiven for playing the "cute card". Who wouldn't love to watch this family!
