Some of the ducklings are back



At the end of December, we discovered eight ducklings motorboating around the pond. We were so excited that we posted a slide show of them on our 31 December blog entry. Then the ducklings disappeared. We didn't see them for about 3 weeks. Yesterday, they were back. Well two of the ducklings and the mom. Six ducklings are gone. Whatever is getting them can swim or fly, because they live on a small island in the center of the pond. Our neighbor suggested a stoat or weasel is the culprit.

The picture above shows our the two remaining ducklings.
