Peeking over towards Mom in the water

Caloura, Sao Miguel

We feed the neighbors ducks each morning and have been watching the
mother, named Frick, sitting on eggs for the past three weeks or so.
Her male counterpart, Frack, was very lost as he spent the majority of
the day outside the little house they have. He knew that during this time
she wanted nothing to do with him! Well, the little ones started to arrive
several days ago and have started to swim in the little pool they have.
One of the young ones fell behind the pool and had difficulty getting out.
It kept looking over the edge at mom and the siblings wondering what would
happen. Mom finally got out of the water and got behind the stuck baby and
gave it a little push into the pool. All is well!
