We passed a wood duck and her young along the path. When I looked behind me about five young ducks seemed to be following me very closely for quite a distance. I was tempted to turn around and lead them back to their mother but in the end I didn’t have to as they decided to do that themselves. 😏

How fun that must’ve been to have them following you! Wood Ducks are so beautiful. We’ve had them here every year, but I didn’t see any this past season.

I had to laugh, looking over my shoulder as they kept coming😊. We see a fair number in season, they are beautiful!

I’ve had geese trail me but never ducklings and so close 😊. Someone must have been feeding them…not a good thing.

How sweet! I’d want to go back too, but mamma was probably close by, in the bushes. I’d probably get pecked, lol… hugs
