Duckling Update

  I finally got a picture of her on the roof. This is Dame Olivia. Her partner is Sir Lawrence. Early this spring, as many of you know she laid her eggs on top of our roof, hatched out about ten ducklings and within about two weeks all had been gobbled up by critters. She's been back on the roof for a couple of weeks at least. The difference between the first and second set of eggs is the heat. It gets to be probably 110 on the roof when it's in the sun, which is most of the day. When she's not there I would bet that the eggs are cooking not growing baby ducklings. She's off the nest a lot because she gets so hot. I'll keep you posted.
