There are ducks in our front yard almost daily. Our neighbors saw baby duckies following mother duck across the street last year, and we couldn't wait for the opportunity to possibly witness it ourselves. Lo and behold, my hubby opened the door today, ran back inside and whispered excitedly, "Baby duckies! There's baby ducks!" We both ran back outside (with the camera, of course!), and this was what we saw!!!

This is the other duck couple that chills in and by the pool...
