Six images of weary Mom, the eight remaining Ducklings and then a few of DAD. Who is that, you ask? Well he stuck around long enough to do his job. Then he disappeared with the other boys for a few to many beers as he hasn't been back since.
Top image Mom and the remaining, 3 to 5 day old, young. (Note: presently, at about two weeks old, there are 7 of 14 young left.)
Close-up of Mom. Her weariness and concern for her brood clearly evident.
An image taken last Fall where Dad is on his best behaviour as he is getting reacquainted with his lady.
Dad, waving goodbye to Mom this past Spring. His job complete.
Dad, off with one of his buddies.
(Looking ahead.) - Dad, coming back this coming Fall to make amends, reconnect with his wife and perhaps meet what's left of his family.
