Muscovy ducklings are about as cute as it gets. NICE shot btw

Nice shot.

Nice shot. If she only has two of them she must have lost a lot to predation.

Each season starts off with about 40 ducklings and by maturity it is rare to see more than three or four. This is a favorite pond for an Osprey couple and at least one eagle. Having never been there late at night, I do not know of other predators but am quite sure there is an abundancy of Red Fox.
