Hi you'll.

Trish spotted them first in late July. http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=15640


and I've been following them sice that time. Here's some recent pics of the BBWDs. So far we have gone from 24 ducklings to 9 but they have been holding steady at 9 for the last few weeks.

You can see that in addition to growing bigger they are losing the yellow coloring which is turning brown and their bills are becoming much more prominent.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
