Even though I am a Bluebird I appreciate the over 350 species of birds that fly around at Ball’s Falls! We have a family of ducks living here that I see often and I wanted to share something remarkable about them with you. These are Mallard ducks and the mother often takes her babies out swimming, you should come soon to try to spot them as they will soon grow big and have adventures of their own.
Now take a look at these pictures….notice they are a family of daredevils! The red circles in the big picture show you where the ducks are! The ducklings were just feet from the edge of the waterfall! But the mother was carefully watching her babies and training them to swim hard and fast.
So come by Ball’s Falls when you have a chance and maybe you can spot this family of daredevil ducks!
Wowza! Those ducks got awful close.
