1 Hidden Nest - a photo on Flickriver

1 Hidden Nest

My son has a new house in Forney. He stacked bricks for a landscaping project and it left a narrow space between the bricks & the house. When he was going to put out the bricks, he discovered a mallard had made her nest back in the narrow hidden space. Landscaping project has been put on hold. I got to see this on Mother's Day when the family gathered there.
