Wednesday afternoon I went out to see why the dogs were so excited in the backyard. Momma duck had six babies with her but wasn't happy with the dogs (who were separated from the ducks by a fence) or me.
Looking around I could see the cause for her agitation wasn't me or the dogs but the four ducklings that had fallen into the firepit.
The neighbors helped me free the ducklings from the firepit and then after locking up the dogs we "hearded ducks" through the back yard to the canal.
