WOW! Amazing 'action' capture...That is a very attentive mom. How many ducklings are there???

The trap is a live trap. After we capture the critters (could be groundhogs, possums, skunks, squirrels etc) George will release them in a park near the Delaware River. Lots of food and water there!!<:))

They are biting our tomatoes and cucumbers. This may be due to the excessive heat??? Trying to get nutrients/water from the fruit? #8780994

Roxanne- Oh my goodness girl, what an action shot of this mom going into the defence of her young. It is always so amazing what a mother will do to protect her babies. Incredible timing and the action here is fierce. Incredible camera work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and do take care. #8781704
