COURTYARD DUCKLINGS HATCH AND HEAD TOWARD WATER
We have good news to report regarding the mother mallard duck who has been nesting in the Church Courtyard. We discovered Sunday afternoon that the nest was empty, with only some broken shells carefully hidden below mulch and feathers. The experts at Duck Watch, with whom we have been consulting during her time in residence, tell us conditions there mean that the ducklings have hatched!
