I stopped by Johnson and Cate this afternoon. When I got out of my car I saw this mallard duck with her seven newly hatched ducklings. Ducks have to sit on the eggs for 28 days to hatch. She must have found a good hiding place for the month. She was pretty lost here and seemed to want to go back across the highway. She started across and got about halfway across the first lane when a car whizzed by and honked. She turned around and was last seen heading down the road to Harbor Oaks. The little ones had to walk really fast since they were so small. I doubt they will have much of a chance to make it.
