A friend of mine and I have been running around Lake Calhoun every other morning for the past month. Well last Monday I finally saw the first set of baby ducks!! I had since seen them everyday of the run. So yesterday Kyle and I went back (after my morning run with Sally) so I could get some pictures of them. It was COLD! and windy! That morning the mama had been sitting on her babies and I knew roughly where they were. So we got out and walked, about five minutes til we went far enough that I knew they weren't any farther. So we headed back to our parking spot (we are rather cold at this point) and we FIND them! Right in front of where we parked!!!!
They must have been hiding in the bush before, but at this point they were out for a swim and riding the waves.
Then they got on shore
Then mom went back in the water
Then came back
I could have watched them all day... if it wasn't so cold!
We left just as it started to rain ice pellets and went about our day of errands. While leaving Home Depot, Kyle noticed a goose family in the nearby pond!! So of course I had to pull over and get some more pictures, baby ducks and baby geese all in one day! This was a wonderful day!!!!
There were two families in this pond
I love the little yellow ones! :-)
Happy Spring!
