Dr. Kevorkian I am not...

Today at work I was doing some gardening when I suddenly disturbed at fresh duck's nest with 13 fresh eggs and a mamma duck. I peaked around a small bush and out ran this mamma duck without making a noise. I nearly crapped my pants... especially when I found the 13 eggs!

My co-worker and I asked a neighbour that was watching our antics and he said that the duck and its mate have been in the garden for a week, but yesterday there hadn't been any eggs. So there is a small chance that I disturbed the mamma duck as she was laying. Hopefully this 13 isn't an unlucky number. I wouldn't be able to live with myself!!
