Of Killdeer and Mallard Eggs

.
The Killdeer are back on my mini-golf course. This one is getting ready to do her broken wing dance. Presently I have two of them on the course and several others nearby. If anyone has not seen their act, come out and have a look. I'm at Russell Road and US-31.




I was also hoping for another Mallard hatching. I had nine ducklings born on the course in '09. Mama duck was back and laid at least ten eggs, but I found her with a broken neck. I think she really screwed up a landing.  Is there a use for abandoned duck eggs?

Back to work.
