Duck's Nest
Yesterday when I was cutting grass with the tractor out at the farm I scared a duck out of her nest as I came past with the tractor. She took off and landed a few feet away & that's when I found her nest on the bottom edge of the grade. I think it was a gadwall but not totally sure because I didn't get close enough to her.
She eventually flew away to the slough across the road but I am hoping that she came back to her nest after I was done. There were 11 eggs in the nest and hope all the black birds in the area didn't come across the eggs either. What are the chances that she will come back. I didn't touch the eggs but tried to put some dead grass around it to disguise it more.
Here are a couple of pictures of her nest..
