we've had a female mallard and her TWELVE babies ,actually they are about 85% of adult size , in the yard for a couple days . it is really incredible to watch them move about because it's like watching a herd of ducks as they stay quite close together . took some pix but was inside and shooting through the window screen ,which i'd forgotten about . i'll see if i get a better picture today .......peace.......ps ...we also have about a dozen carp, from about two feet to about thirty inches in size , waiting in the water for the mulberries to drop from the tree into the pond at which time they go nose to nose to see who gets the berry .
