Ducklings

A mama duck nested near our sago palm in the planter above our pool. We tried to discourage her from nesting, we floated things in our pool, spent more time out there to make it seem less inviting, but she was determined. Well her determination has paid off. Big time.
We have twelve duckling and a mama duck in our pool now.
They needed a ramp to get in and out of the pool and a ramp to get up to the planter nest. I've been picking snails from the front yard and bringing them as "snacks". Mama duck is very appreciative.
Sarah is loving having the ducks here though. We'll probably let them stay till the ducklings get a bit older and have a better chance of survival.
