Duck, Duck, Bird.

We had a very fun event during this summer. We had the fowl in the area really like our home!
See the cute little duckling on my lawn?

Well, this is where we found about a dozen ducklings...in our window well! This brought tons of excitement to the neighborhood! It was fun yet sad to watch as the ducklings tried their hardest to get out of the window well.  The mom of these cute ducks was flying around trying her hardest to "quack" us all away from her babies.  Luckily...

Doug got home just in time to help the ducklings out!

He crawled down into the window well to lift each duckling out one at a time.

Eventually, our neighbor found a net for them.  The box was not working and they would just hop out of the box once they got out. (half of them ended up across the street.)

The kids were all VERY fascinated!

We ended up finding a box that the ducklings would not jump out of! I wish I had a picture of where the ducklings ended up...but, I don't. So, we found out one of the neighbors just a few houses down had a pond where two ducks came to every morning.  We ended up putting the ducklings in that pond. It was so fun to watch them all swimming around having fun with their brothers and sisters. we don't know for sure, but we think the mom did come back for her ducks because they were all gone by late that night!

We also had a birds nest here above our front door/window.

Doug was able to climb on the ladder and get a few good pictures of the eggs in the nest.
We did end up with three tiny baby birds chirping away. That was fun. The mess their parents left behind, I could do without:)
