Mabel and her eggs are still there. Mabel is a Mallard duck who has chosen our front yard for her nest. She's nestled in the Junipers very close to our front door, and the dried leaves give her lots of cushioning for her eggs, and superb camouflage. Trying to see her in the pictures? In the top photo, her beak is pointing to the right, and her tail is to the left. In the next photo, she's facing the opposite way. In the last photo are 7 of her 8 eggs.
