You can see a LIVE webcam of our duck here: duckwatch.camstreams.com This is the second year in a row that a Mallard Duck has built a nest in front of our house. Last year she hatched 11 of 12 eggs (you can see that video here: www.youtube.com Now she is sitting on 10 eggs. She leaves the nest very early each morning for about an hour to go to the pond and feed and exercise and visit with her mate. She usually comes back just before sunrise. She completely covers her eggs in her nest to hide them from predators. Here you can see how she uncovers them when she gets back "home".
