Searching for mom... by danette

Searching for mom...

I stopped by a local park since today's word is water. I heard these babies all the way on the other side of the lake, squawking for mom. There were plenty of adult ducks around, including another mom with babies...but these babies were ignored. I felt horrible for them! I don't like Muscovies, but these are just babies. I called the Humane Officer and I hope they will do something.
Awwww - how sweet is this!!! Fabulous shot, Danette.

Aww this is so lovely. Ducks are notoriously bad mothers!!! Se has probably gone off shopping!

They look as thought they are all huddled together for safety.

LOL I just saw Pam's response above me. We thought the same thing. I didn't copy of of her. I really didn't.

@lucypics You'd know since you have Muscovies in your area. I've always seen the moms right with their babies. This lake is by a busy road. I hope she didn't get hit. :-(

@gailmmeek @calm @jesperani @henrir @pamknowler @mittens @mittens They were cute. The Mom must have told them never to leave the lake without her, because they sure didn't. I hope she is okay and comes back for them. I think they were having a meeting to discuss their plight!

Unusual that the mom wasn't right there. Hope she wasn't hurt.

@jodimuli @paintdipper @anazad511 @demmie @httpgeffed @megmills @bardejov @mjmaven @soboy5 @lynnb Thanks for all of your comments. I will try to get back there to check on them. It was so sad. I know our Humane Officers are good. If they are trapped in a drain, they will come set them free. I don't like these ducks, but they are babies!
