Ducks on the Pond

,

I was filling the horse water tanks when I noticed quacking, thrashing, and splashing in the small pond by the house. This mother duck was racing back and forth, trying to convince me she had a broken wing. She wanted me to chase her instead of her ducklings.

Her ducklings were hiding in the reeds near where I was. They all got out and found Mom. I was able to sneak up on them, and by moving slowly, I even managed to get a few pictures.
