Amazing how consistent Momma Wood Duck is at waking up in the mornings and flying out for food and?

Every day for the last 7 days within about a 5 minute window around 6:10am (one day she was 10 min late due to very heavy rains)

So maybe some of the little ones survived?
 
I'm guessing so.
Based on the days passed, we should see something any day
