Giselle decided to sit on another nest, after losing her other ducklings. This time, she hatched 7, with 5 others that got about halfway out before dying. Still, 7 is a big brood, and she is taking better care of them then she did her first babies. I hope they make it! I love watching them run and tumble all across the grass, and see them learning how to swim and eat.
Also, we've had 6 of these nasty guys so far this summer. I bet there will be several more before the season is over. Ick.

I am delighted she tried again. I think ducklings are way cute.
I hate those spiders!!! Sorry your ducklings didn't make it again :(
