We just had our lawn reseeded and in the area around one tree there is straw for protection. Mrs. Duckie built a nest at the base of the tree in the high grass with the straw. It is very vulnerable to cats and other critters so we feel very protective of this nest. Unfortunately, I still have to be watering the new lawn so I try to keep my time to a minimum because the slightest hint of human intrusion sends her away and she is very cautious about coming back. I expect times to be very tense when the ducklings arrive.
