Surprise Duckies!

I was heading out on an errand and came to a halt when I saw the following family making their way past our mailboxes. What caught my attention were the yellow babies since normally all the mallard ducklings are brown and yellow.





To my alarm the mother walked right out in the road as some cars were coming. However the babies crossed safely.

When I returned about half an hour later I kept an eye out for them. I spotted them sitting under a tree by the fence separating us from the (usually) cornfield next door.

It was definitely a surprise to see them, particularly to see the mix of brown and yellow babies. I've never seen any yellow ones around here before.
