Here they are- Mama Goldeneye and her brood:
We're wondering if she lost her first clutch, since these ducklings look awfully small for the second week of July. The mallards, at least, are usually twice this size by now. She has had them diving already, though, so I assume she knows what she's doing.
Otherwise, it was a quiet day up here in the woods. It was so quiet, in fact, that my alter ego actually got a couple of hours of overtime, which takes some of the pressure off the rest of the week. I rarely get to say that on a Monday- it feels good!
