The Mallard Is Back

Our little feather tenant came back last week. On Tuesday we noticed that there were 12 eggs tucked neatly under a layer of down feathers in the rosemary bush, but the mama was not there. She started with the incubation the next morning, so around Aug. 18th there should be another dozen little ducklings.

I thought it was soon for the duck to lay the eggs again, but, hey, it's the duck business. :)
