Paddling our canoe on a mirror smooth lake, we rounded the corner of a small island and drifted towards the shoreline reeds, bathing in the glow of the warm morning sun. We were rewarded to see a mother mallard duck with her nine, newly hatched, fuzzy yellow ducklings gathered up beneath her. They were all snuggled in, safe and sound.
