report
The female wood duck with youngs came in from the right and kept moving left all the way without stoping. The male was feeding far back near the shore. He moved forward to have a close check on the little family. I thought he may be the father and would follow them but not at all. They cross each other with no emotions then he returned to his feeding ground. God knows what he came by to check. (taken jun 2024)

It is always so nice to see a family of ducks, especially if you frequent the area and watch them grow. Nice focusing through the foreground reeds Yves.
Thank you so much Heather. What a nice story that you tel me about a mother duck and grebes.. I cherish those special moments Mother Nature grant me once in a while.
Really nice shot, Yves. It's an interesting image and story, and what a beautiful brood they are. It reminds me of when the adult horned grebes that nested on our dugout left their chicks behind and it never failed that a mother duck would take them under her wing together with the ducklings she already had to care for. I have a real soft spot for ducks because they seem to be one of the most sociable birds out there.
