Hen Mallard was sitting quietly on her nest not even a ft from me, now have to make sure my dog doesn't go there.

Farrukh, you will be a busy man until she hatches them out. Good luck. Thanks for the thread. It is always exciting to see and hear of something like this.

Thanks pretty neat. We have baby geese already at our place on the Mississippi River and the Mallard hens are on the nest somewhere. We have a pair of Woodies hanging around too. Crazy weather. Everything is a month ahead this year.

Very cool Farrukh! I just love springtime! So many reminders of how beautiful, yet fragile life can be and how great our Creator is!

Not to take away from your post, but I thought this was worth posting here;

This was from this past weekend in Couerd'Alene Idaho.

Good stuff!

Was this goose attacking passer-byers? I've seen some funny videos of geese defending their nests and flogging people.

No, she was pretty mellow. I think she's used to the people by now.
