Nature's Way



 My sister has ducks visit her pool every summer, often to nest in the nearby bushes.  They are a problem, hard to get rid of them in a good way.  Recently she noticed a nest of eggs and was worried about them hatching.  But shortly after that she suspects a raccoon may have destroyed the eggs.  Nature has its way.

Yes, it's good that it was done that way. I couldn't have done it but the raccoon its nature!

That's a lot of eggs! The raccoons are bad here too.

Wow, that is definitely a hard case of nature at work. I hope she doesn't have anymore problems.

Oh no :-( I love ducks and would have happily welcomed them and helped! Honestly I am obsessed with ducks! But yes, that is nature indeed.

The last 24 years I have been a country girl after living all my first 52 years in the city. It is difficult to get used to the predatory stages of animal survival but it is understandable.

Birds make nests in strange places.

I really wish nature would remove the pigeons who are pooping on our solar panels and nesting under them leaving bird mites that bite us. Nature certainly helped your sister.

Something got to our bluebirds last clutch of eggs also. We saw that two babies hatched then they went missing. Soon after the other 3 eggs disappeared.
