I saw the duckling today! He is doing well- and now has a little sister! You can tell them apart by her white "bow" of fluffy baby feathers on her head.

| His name is Herman. |
 |
| His sister is Ellie |
The only trouble is they are too brave! These little babes have no fear! Not even of a big (to them) dog they met on the path! Luckily this dog was friendly, I worry not all animals they meet will be as nice.

Herman leading Ellie away from Mum for some adventure...
(Look at those precious little duckling behinds. I love the little waggling tails!) |
 |
| ...dangerously far away from mum! |
Their mother is all too calm about it. I can't help but morbidly wonder how many babies she has lost to turtle and cats and other dangers. I happened to have my camera with me while I checked the mail (in case you were wondering at the sudden flood of photos).
 |
All's well that ends well I suppose. Back with Mum, safe, for today.
Me and my camera are going to keep an eye on these two. Good luck ducklings! |
