OH!

The mallard mama was camped out in our front yard this morning.  It's been raining steady for several hours now.  Both of her beaus are with her, one is stamping down hostas to try to tempt her into nesting in our front flower bed.  I hope she agrees!  It's got a lovely overhang to shield her from the worst weather while providing close access to the creek.  There ARE, however, several cats who roam the neighboring yards.  Maybe not such a good idea after all.

Awwww! Ducks can be fierce I wouldn't count them out when it comes to cats.

Daisy got too curious once about a group of baby ducks only to get bit by the mom, that was enough for her.

We had ducks when I lived in Florida. They were fun. There were two males who would fight like crazy over the females. We named them JR and Bobby fron Dallas because of how they competed! LOL

I think the cats might be the ones to be worried, as long as Mama Duck is there to protect the babies.
