Field Notes

Description:

Brown and yellow duckling, c. 3 days after hatching.

Habitat:

Rural suburban neighborhood.

Notes:

This little duckling was part of a nest in our neighbor's backyard; the duck nested in the landscaping next to a large in-ground swimming pool. The duckling slipped through a hole in our fence and we caught him before our dog could catch him.

He was; we put him back under the fence where he rejoined the others.
