MALLARD TRAIL

I know I just posted photos of turtles, so I should be posting drawings for awhile before showing photographs, but I found some old photos I couldn't resist, especially after my recent visits to the park and seeing most other animals are disappearing now, leaving the mottled duck--what I used to call the spot-billed mallard. Here's something I found of the ducklings when they were still swimming with their mother, altho' they grow up really fast, and you can't tell them apart from the adult ducks anymore.

Behind Mama Mallard: 2 ducklings? No, 3!

No, at least 4

1,2,3,4,5

See? There are 6 of us!
