Orphans?


As I was walking the trail this morning, I accidentally flushed out of the tall grasses that edge the marsh, a pair of adult ducks and eleven young ones. I assumed the young ones belonged to the pair, until they swam off leaving the juveniles alone. I'm pretty sure they are Blue-winged Teals (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). They are not completely fledged, as some of their down is still evident.
