Happy Memorial Day to all! What a great gift, the ducklings hatched over the weekend! Late Friday afternoon, the first emerged. They waited patiently for the rest before heading towards the river. Best of luck to them ❤️

Thank you to Angela Read Acupuncture and Hope for the pictures!

Did you know? The Mallard duck lives in a wide range of habitats and climates, from the Arctic tundra to subtropical regions. It is found in both fresh- and salt-water wetlands, including parks, small ponds, rivers, lakes, and estuaries, as well as shallow inlets and open seas within sight of the coastline.

Consuela the Mallard is doing great! Spending a lot of time sleeping, and rearranging the down feathers she plucks from her breast to line the nest. Looks pretty comfy!

Did you know? Mallard ducks lay one egg per day and will only incubate sporadically until the clutch is complete, typically from 8 -15 eggs. The drake often leaves the pair at this point.

Happy Mother's Day to all!
We are feeling quite special having been chosen by a mother duck. Consuela the Mallard made a nest in one of our planters and we are on the countdown to ducklings! She laid at least 10 before starting incubation. Follow for updates!
