Observation details
Ducklings had jumped from nest area shortly before I arrived. My first picture shows Mom with 2 of her own ducklings. When she swam from that mound, the 3 BBWD babies were first to follow. Two hours later, I checked back on them. Mom was looking up at the nest site. She seemed to want to fly up. Even though the Anhinga was there, I believe she felt she couldn't leave her young. She took them into the duckweed for breakfast. I checked back on my way out, to see her heading across the big pond with them.
