Yesterday I stopped at a local pond after taking my daughter to her doctors. It is right outside the hospital. It always has ducks and other birds around. Luckily I brought my camera. As one of the ducks was a mama with babies. Can you guess how many babies she has? Here are different shots I was able to get:

I think I counted 10 babies when taking these pictures. But it was hard. She was a very good mama and kept her babies with her.
