More photos from a different lake. Since we had baby ducks at our local lake Gregory - we went to Lake Arrowhead so I could see if there were any babies. We did see two female mallards with their babies. One female had 11 babies and the other one had 7. Over at our lake - each of the two females we've seen with babies have 3 which seems a low number.
Here are the Lake Arrowhead babies. We were there on Saturday and a lot of boats were in the water. The babies looked like they were purposely swimming out to ride the waves back to shore. We watched them for quite awhile and finally I had to be strong and pull myself away and stop taking photos. I can't believe how many I took - this is a small amount, lol.
Most of the ducks on the shore were the male mallards so I think more females are probably tending hatchlings in the nest.
They were so fun to watch in the water.
This one is out of focus but i like the light on the duck's wings
With the water surrounding and washing over them it was difficult to get clear photos at times.
