This morning I leave the dogs at home and head to the spot where the creek meets the beach and forms a little pond. In search of ducklings, I find three mallards instead.
A step closer and splash! mama duck leaps from a hidden nook on the bank and into the water, herding her brood upstream.
... between their babies and the intruder.
Mama gathers the brood...
...turns upstream...
...and they all swim away, out of sight and away from danger.
The End.
