There is a pond along the way to work. I've watched the Canada Geese from nesting to today when their two surviving goslings are almost the same size as the adults. I would have to say that this mama duck was a little slow out of the gate. Her nine babes just hatched not long ago. She was out for a morning swim and was having one heck of a time with all those little ones but she soon got all 'her ducks in a row'.
