Mallard chicks including the white ugly duckling

[Woodsman]

First time I have seen a wild white mallard duckling. Mom and the rest just treat him as one of the brood. So nice to see this morning out our front window. After the morning preening Mom tucked them all into a little huddle on the rocks and flew off. She was gone a long time but came back and took them on down the lake.

Neat!
