A couple of weeks ago while I was near the northeast corner of Turtle Pond in Central Park, I came upon a Mallard with her ducklings. These birds can be seen in the photographs atop this entry.
The ducklings captured my heart with their actions and I'm sure you'll see why they did upon looking at the next set of pictures.
Seeing these ducklings engaging in life, prompted me to do some research to learn more about these sweet-looking creatures.
