Duck eggs

Ryan was out doing yard work yesterday and he found a bunch of feathers right outside our front door, which he thought was a dead bird. Then he realized it was alive and that it was a duck! The duck got scared and flew away, revealing the next with twelve eggs in it! It's kind of amazing how all of those feathers make such a thick, perfect circle for the baby eggs. We found the mama duck later keeping a close eye on our house from a neighbor's rooftop, and we are happy to announce that she has returned to be with the eggs again. I'm excited to see all the babies!

If we had an Easter egg hunt in our yard, some little kid would have gotten real lucky. :)

Do you have lots of ducks by your house? We have tons. And I don't have any nests in my yard. It would be so fun to have duck eggs! My kids would be jealous!
