If you look really closely beneath the daffodils daylilies, you can see the mother duck sitting on her nest.

Mother Duck on nest

This is within three feet of the condo’s mailboxes under a little tree in the median strip of the parking lot. While we were there, she did not move–the only way to verify that she was alive was to see her blink.

We had another look this morning; she was still there, but facing the other way.

Addendum

Mother Duck on nest:

Here’s a picture taken today from a different angle.

Afterthought:

Residents have left dishes of water and of grass clippings for her. I don’t know whether ducks eat grass clippings, but it’s really very sweet.
