Lisa Eye just today saw a mother MALLARD with 8 tiny just-hatched  
ducklings in the cattail pond adjacent to her home along Church St.,  
about a kilometre east of highway 358 and north of Port Williams.

Coincidentally, another mother duck with a brood of 8 ducklings were  
causing traffic problems in downtown Halifax -- all of them were  
gathered up into a box and taken to be released in Point Pleasant  
Park, according to today's Chronicle Herald.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
