More ducklings!

There's only two ducklings left out of the six in this family.  The little rouen duckling lives on.  They are now 11 days old.  I think this is the oldest I've ever seen her raise any ducklings.  Both ducklings seem healthy and active.

Peek-a-boo!

The males were harassing the mother, so she put her unhappy face on:

I thought this mom had 6 ducklings, but I can only find 5 in all my photographs.    

At one time, she flew away, leaving the ducklings alone!  There was a heron nearby, but she came back to them.  Then, she and the heron crossed paths!  I was too far away to see if she lost any, but I know that some of them did survive, if not all of them.  I think the heron was more concerned with the guy fishing in the floating tube nearby.

These are 3 new ones under the heron's nest.  I'm not sure who the mom is at this moment:

Here's a wood duck pair I also saw:

And, I think this is George III raining terror and harassment on Junior and Killer Jr.  There was a hawk nearby, so he was being very quiet and I think I woke him up, too:
