This was taken in the Arboretum, Ottawa. There was one other mallard youngster and Mum! Notice all the duckweed (Lemna), which ducks really do eat.

Aw, he's so little and looks a little lost here. I'm sure mama is nearby though. Super capture. V.

Looks like he has plenty of food available! Hard to believe this funny little guy grows up into a beautiful Mallard. V

Someone needs to talk to that quackling about playing in its food.

Nice shot of this youngster Christine. Neat to see how its tail feathers are developing.
