Awwww. I feel horrible too. Now I'm looking at your pictures and wondering which wee little duckling it was. :(

Ugh. I know this is why ducks have so many babies - not all of them will survive - but it still sucks. Especially after I was able to get a photo of all of them together this morning.

And now I find myself scanning the pond every few minutes to see where they are, and if they're okay.

feel better. The hawk was just doing what it does.

Aw. Sounds like the Jays were on the duck's side. Nature in action. I'm loving the photos.
