Mama Mallard

I was still in bed this morning when my husband shouted that I needed to come and see what was out the window.  He thought it was a duck, but we have never seen one on the shore here before.  Sure enough, it was this mama duck, sheltering her fluffy ducklings from the cold and mist.  My first photos were through the window, but that wasn't going to do it, so I quietly walked out onto the deck.  Of course she spotted me immediately.  I only took a few photos because she was obviously stressed by my presence.  When I left and came back a few minutes later she and her little family were gone.
