One duck and the lotus pond

I can't say that I didn't anticipate the scene, surviving duck swimming in the lotus pond; but what a delight to see that she had found the water and recovered her ducky joi de vie! My next thought was, duck shit; but given the life expectancy of her sisters, I doubt she'll live long enough to turn the lotus pond green. I wish I had brought my camera.

Two days ago Mojo and Mr Lee and I tried to corral survivor duck back into her yard, but failing several times, I relented thinking that she might do better outside. So far she has made it to day three. She's nesting under the larger butterfly bush next to the chicken yard fence.
