A dozen ducklings!

Well, maybe not quite a dozen. They were hard to count as they paddled speedily after Momma, but I think there are nine, or 10..or maybe 11. And then I'm not sure they are all ducklings. What about the two yellow ones? Are they possibly goslings or just little ducklings that got into a yellow paint pot? Does anyone know if ducklings from the same momma can have entirely different colors? (The ugly duckling story comes to mind).Maybe I need to do a little research, but it's too late tonight. Whatever they are, they are all beyond cute. Unfortunately they are also very well camouflaged, and Momma was guiding them to the far side of the bog where they could safely hide among the roots of a big tree. A wise momma!

Just a word of thanks to all who left comments on my family photo yesterday. It was a happy occasion for me to have all but one of my daughters and granddaughters join me for the event.
