Ducks, Three Ducklings, Two River Otters in Blackstone

Yesterday morning amongst the lily pads we spotted a mother duck and her teenage ducklings in the old ice house pond on Carter Ave. They looked identical and the only difference was the mother had a yellow beak and was leading them. Then we spotted two river otters nibbling stuff below the surface of the water. In the past we've seen a great blue heron, bullfrogs, and turtles and have heard about the beaver, and the big snake.
