Diving Lessons

Living with the ducks for ten days this year, I got to see a bit more of the training that their mom  gives them to survive in the world. When they were about a week old, she took them all in the jacuzzi for a diving lesson.

This was the first time I saw the babies go underwater and zoom quickly both under and on top of the surface!

Mallory would work with a few of them at a time as they seemed to pass muster, they were allowed to get out of the jacuzzi and go sun themselves as their siblings continued the lesson.
