Probably never see this again
I tore my rt bicep tendon off a week ago and have been home after surgery a few days. Friday I went to let my Lab Remi outside, something caught my eye next door. It was a hen Woody with her ducklings making their way across the back yard!
I don't live very close to a marshy area or even a ditch system I'm probably close to a mile from this type of area but there they were. Don't know where they came from, but I was able to get a few pictures. I would have liked to try and catch them all for a release in our woody area but no one was around and they were gone in a few hours.
Hope they make it past the guantlet of cars, cats and dogs, not to mention racoons and crows.....
But cool to see!

Such pretty ducks! Hopefully momma duck will bring them to water.

I have a flock of Rouen ducks and a couple Khaki Campbell's. They are great to have, such social birds. They cheer me up at anytime of the day. Thanks for sharing
 
I seen a similar group of Mallard ducks a what I suppose is the mother and six or seven ducklings try to cross Highway 2 just north of Red Deer, Alberta. They never made it.
