This morning a mother duck and her ducklings were napping on a rock right by our beach. Jim took this photo from a distance so as not to scare them off.
When they finally left their cozy napping spot, Jim saw them paddling up the river, and he counted 18 ducklings! He even counted twice, and there really were 18 of them.
Can one duck hatch that many babies at one time?
Maybe she runs a nursery school for ducks. Be sure to click on this photo for a bigger look.

Such a cute picture, what kind of ducks are these? We have a small pond at our house in Bellingham, WA and have Mallards visit regularly, but no ducklings unfortunately.
