duck tales (wildlife, ducklings, some attrition involved)
of the two mallard duck moms (duqueens?) who've been raising ducklings in the nearby pond, one has ended up with five, the other with one. this morning I saw the singlet mom... with no duckling. "aw, she lost her last duckling," I thought.
then I saw the mom-of-five with... six ducklings. one of which is slightly *larger* than the others. .... oookay then. XD
