This Mallard had 12 ducklings following along it on a sunny morning near Colonial Lake..
Mallard and 12 ducklings.
I have more photos, but uploading them to WordPress has been very iffy lately, so the above will have to do for this Mother’s Day.

She was very dedicated, keeping a close watch of those ducklings as they swam from one side of the creek to another.

That’s perfect for Mothers Day – those Mallards really reproduce, don’t they?!

They sure do, like many other ducks, including the domesticated ones.

When it comes to cute, fuzzy little ducks are right at the top. Nice capture.

Yes, I wonder how she can keep track of all 12 of them!

I am not sure she can. I thought animals could only “count” up to a smallish number say 4 or 5. The rest of the chicks have to stay close because she won’t necessarily realise that one or two of them have lagged behind.!
