The most exciting part of the Maitland Art Show happened on Sunday morning. There were ducks, mallards and muscovies by the lake. We heard some major quacking going on and ventured out of our booth to check out the commotion.
There was a tiny chick running all by itself in one direction. Then we hear some major quacking and here comes mother duck from the other direction all upset with her chick. Little chick sees her and goes running to her. Mother duck goes running towards her chick. Then they get close and the mother gives the little one a piece of her mind. It was so cute, I could almost hear her words! Then they go off walking together. Mothers and kids, some things never change - human or ducks.
Meanwhile, a big crowd has gathered to watch the entire drama. Everyone cheering on the mother duck and chick. So cute.

How funny to hear the mother duck was upset w/ the chick for wandering off!
awe, how adorable!
i always love watching animals and the like interact. especially in situations like that.
today while outside enjoying the weather i watched what appeared to be a mother ant doing her best to gather up her 2 babies and move them to another location. the wind was so high that they were blowing all over the place. i was captivated by it all for over 30 minutes!
How awesome that you got those pictures and what a touching story. I am such an animal lover. Thanks for sharing that! How was the show. I am counting down the days to my first with nervous anticipation!
if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, even in the duck world!
They are just too cute! I love spring when all the little birds are out. We usually have canada geese and mallard ducks with babies on the creek at our house. This year we also have 2 beaver. They drive the dog nuts!!
Fly tie, love that story about the ants. I thought I was the only one who did stuff like that:)
Kathy, the show was good, but even better was the day in the park. We both enjoyed the weather, the setting, the people:)
they are cute. Good thing no other animals were around!
Aww, too cute!! I like to watch primates with their young too. When momma's sitting there, and baby is climbing here and there. Then if baby goes too far, she just reaches out and grabs him and pulls him near!
