Hiding while eating…

If I hadn’t seen the young Duck family swimming into the Bonnet Lily patch, I would not have known. They quickly were covered by the Bonnet Lilies once inside the growth. My initial attention was on the few yellow Bonnet Lily flowers. So named because the Lilies look like little bonnets. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
Once the babies were inside the patch of Bonnet Lilies the mom stayed primarily outside standing guard while the young ones dined on plants and some insects. The Ducklings are completely hidden. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
