Outstanding image! Maybe she better keep those hitchhikers up there.
Any guess on how many she had to start with?
Thanks Robert. That one had either 12 or 16. Most get taken by bald eagles. Pretty hard for the chicks to dive long enough to escape those talons, especially if a pair of eagles is working together.

That is a great image Tony. They have a lot because these lose a lot.

Thanks Dave. Yes, we have a Wood Duck in our ponds with four ducklings. She is so far more alert and wary of dangers that I doubt she will lose any of her brood. Plus the ducklings just disappear into the cattails and Mom seems to know when the mink are not in there.
