She’s got her wings full

There were lots of duck families at Constitution Gardens during our most recent visit.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

You are correct. absolutely correct. I have watched Canadian geese leave goslings behind if they dawdled. I am not sure what's up with ducklings. Are they being raised by two parents or just one.

So sweet to see them all napping - give mother a break.
