A pair of Mallards showed up with ducklings on the pond. There were only six ducklings today, and they looked older than the brood of eleven that we saw on May 15. We can't know if this is the same or a different brood, but it seems like the young here are appropriately more mature. The bills are longer and their feathers seem smoother than the ducklings we saw before.
