Nesting

We have a mama duck who built her nest in the bush right by our front door. The neighbor kids found the nest after they hit a ball into the bushes and excitedly told us. I'd wondered why I kept seeing a mallard duck in our front yard...

Mama duck was frightened off by the ball, but she came back and isn't bothered by the in and out of the front door or even when I lifted the bushes to show Matthew.

I've read that duck eggs need to incubate for 28 days. Maybe in a month I'll be able to post some duckling pictures.
