A mother Mallard, taken whilst on holiday in Cape Cod, MA, USA in May. She started off with 10 ducklings, but every day a couple were missing and she finally ended up with 2. There are Snapping Turtles in the pond 
Many thanks for your C&Cs on my Greenfinch upload - very much appreciated as always

A lovely sight Sylvia, nature is just so raw!!!
We witnessed a Snapping Turtle laying eggs on the banks of Lake Superior and were warned to stay well away as they'd have your fingers off - so I don't expect those little ducklings stood a chance!!!

A lovely shot love the detail and the crop is spot on
mike
a family of ducklings always have a struggle to survive and its a shame but its wildlife and thats the way of things sadly - good shot of this family Sylvia, just glad I am not a duck
It always saddens me to hear of this Sylvia, mum is always so attentive and hope the rest have survived, cracking shot,
Geoff.
A lovely family outing Sylvia, so sad to hear that only two made it to adulthood
