There are a total of 5 eggs now. She is only there in the morning long enough to drop off an egg and recover the nest. She showed up last Saturday, for the first few days there was a male with her. Now I only see her. Canon 350D | Canon EF-S 18-55 |Canon EF 50 F/1.8

May 10, 2006 20:51 | #10 I believe she is here to stay. She has been sitting on her eggs all day and has not left yet. She has built the mulch up around her eggs so it now looks more like a nest. Before she would just cover the eggs and leave.

May 14, 2006 22:45 | #11 She has been sitting on her eggs non stop for the past few days. I even mowed the lawn and edged yesterday and she didn't even move.
She must have stepped out for a potty break. Usually when she leaves she covers her eggs real good. A couple of weeks I should have some duckling photos to share. Canon 350D | Canon EF-S 18-55 |Canon EF 50 F/1.8
