Duckling Update

Almost forgot. Olivia, who laid and hatched her eggs on the roof, is wearing a black wing band. All of her children were eaten by other, bigger critters. She and Larry are back to wandering around the property and swimming in the irrigation ditch. She might lay again, because it's pretty early in the breeding season. Just thought you'd like to know. You can send memorial donations to the Sierra Club or Ducks Unlimited. The latter wants to make sure there are lots of ducks to "harvest" every hunting season. Olivia is not doing her part. But I guess there isn't a shortage of mallards.
