Description
At the pond where I go to photograph, the litters of mallard ducks and wood ducks born at the beginning, towards the middle, and towards the end of June the ducklings are already grown up and are teenagers, 10 to 12 days ago a Mallard Mommy with her single duckling appeared (I made several photos of them to post in the days, weeks, months, and years to come), and yesterday afternoon I saw the appearance of a new family of mallard duck with 5 ducklings.
The single duckling was the only duckling of his age at the pond (10 to 12 days old), now that at the pond there are little ducklings like him then he often went to see them and mingle with them.
We see the difference in size between the duckling of 10 to 12 days old and the newborns, so to do a play of word with this photo this older duckling is babysitting the newborns. :)

Do you remember the cartoon "Baby Huey"? (if not just Google it) If you had not mentioned the story about the single duckling I might have thought you had a Baby Huey in the collection. :-) Great shot Asbed. L/F
