Yesterday, one of the mallard hens flew away. I had expected this with all of the ducks who decided to stay here in my yard.
The poor drake was distressed that one of his girls was gone but he still had one girl left that he could protect.
Not 10 minutes ago, a mallard hen flew into the yard. I'm guessing that it was the missing girl, but she is noticeably bigger than the remaining hen, so it might be another bird.
In any case, I'm glad that the wild ducks like coming here for a visit.
