Across the bay from our cottage is the Old Mill Marina where we park our boat , get gas and get essentials at their small store. Last year in this cove there was a mother duck that either is "the most incredible egg layer ever!" or she adopted the ducklings of an ill fated, other mother duck. There are at least 45 ducky's there. Amazing! Just think of this responsibility. As you can see though Mother Duck seems to be up to the challenge and is in fact doing very well.It was hard to get a good shot with the camera I had then, and of course as soon as I got closer they all swam away. Enlarge this picture to see if you can count the ducky's! Nature has a way of taking care of business. Does anyone else have an animal/fowl adoption story? I would love to hear them!
