A Mallard mother was leading her 13 ducklings around a small pond at the Sayen Garden in Hamilton, NJ.
Mallard and Ducklings.
She seemed very proud of her brood. They in turn enjoyed her tour, nibbling at plants in and out of the water.

Very nice! Those little ones seem to have hair, so thin the feathers still are.

Thanks! I think feathers will replace the duckling fur when they grow up.

Is this what the expression “baker’s dozen” truly means? 😀
Oh, what wonderful, tender moments. Mama Duck looks so strong, beautiful and proud. I do hope they will all make it to adulthood.
Thank you for sharing Mr. Hien, wish you a great week.
