These baby ducks are in the River Aa that runs through Muenster. They were so little that day, they looked like beetles. This family lives in the Botanical Garden in Muenster. They're going down to the lake now. I walk down this path every day to check on six Coot nests.
Coots are fun to watch, because they make their nests easy to see.
Here's one Coot patiently keeping her eggs warm. She had to take a break, so I was able to see the eggs. I'll let you know when they hatch. Here she is back again. I don't know if this guy is a family man or not.
