On March 20, Kathryn
returned and inspected the new facilities... |
...which obviously
were appreciated... |
|
|
...so much that next
day she brought a friend we've named "O'Toole" |
...by April 28 Kathryn
was sitting awaiting the births |
|
|
then on
May 9 the chicks started to hatch with 6 live births |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 ducklings were
born... |
...but 3 eggs remained
in the nest |
|
|
By may 25
they were down to 3 ducklings........2 by May 27. |
and then
disaster struck...another one disappeared.........Kathryn was killed on
the road...and "Karen" was killed by 4 Mallard males |
|
|
The next day a new
couple arrived: "Lovejoy" and "Charlotte" |
They keep coming and
going (July 15) |

As well as Ducks we
were joined by "Buddy" |
