Looks like we’ve got a squatter…

 

This is what we found in our flower bed when we were mowing the lawn on Tuesday.

This mommy duck decided that our yard looked like a nice place to lay a dozen eggs.  That’s right folks, there are 12 eggs in that nest.  Tuesday was not the 1st time we’ve seen Mama Duck in our yard, but it is the 1st time we noticed her nest.  She’s probably been there for a week or more!  Now that we know she’s there we can see her from Ellie’s window.  She tends her eggs all day long.  Hopefully we will get to see some baby ducks soon.

That is the coolest thing ever! Your kids are going to love watching it- just like the baby birds at grandma's
