    Sweet little ducklings! We do not have Mallards here in southbFlorida, but their close relatives, Mottled Ducks.

      Thank you! I saw them later and nine of them made it to almost adults. After that I couldn't tell them apart from the other mallards.

    I had a problem keeping track of two babies (a LONG time ago). Can't imagine trying to herd ELEVEN little ones!

    Very nice images!

      Thank you Wally! I had my hands full with two as well. The experts at the daycare said it's easier when you have many kids though. :-)
