Breakfast in Park City

This lady duck is a widow. Her husband suffered a fatal crash when he turned around to check for her, while in-flight, and hit a utility pole.

She had just laid one half-dozen eggs. Now, she's alone, raisin her ducklings. She's lost one baby a few weeks ago when we had all that rain. Today, she's taking her five remaining chicks for breakfast on this beautiful June morning.

The family is lucky to live in Park City. The food is plentiful, the beavers built that spacious pond over the past six years and she sees a lot of pedestrians like us, stopping to snap pictures or shoot videos of her and her flock...

Enjoy your day!
