Another family of Mottled Ducks was on the other side of the boardwalk taking a bath

 

[Marilynne]

After their bath, they all went back to the nest

 

[Marilynne]

Meanwhile, back at the hawks.

Still watching the ducks.

 

[Marilynne]

They walked under both of the hawks w/o any incidents.

 

[Marilynne]

Both mom and dad flew away from these ducklings while they were on the nest.

This one was a little adventurous.

 

[Marilynne]

Basilisks, I think he wanted to mate. She didn't want any part of him.

Where it was!

 

[Marilynne]

This greenie was going crazy!

 

[Marilynne]

Then we saw the reason! The Green Heron must have had a nest nearby.

Mom just left without feeding it. It was flopping all over the place.
