Two small eggs in some underbrush. Eggs are oblong, proportionally longer than most bird or chicken eggs. White color with a tinge of yellow, and sandy-colored speckles. Shells appear to have some texture to them, but it is difficult to discern whether it is shell texture or sand/dirt making the appearance of texture. Eggs are alone in a secluded patch of vegetation, but not in a well defined nest.
And eight day old muscovy duckling splashes in a pool in their enclosure. They were part of a small clutch of ducklings (only five hatched) and three of the siblings were taken by predators on the first day mom led them out of their secure nest area. Now they have their own enclosure until they get too big to snatch.

A foster muscovy duck mom seems to be accepting a duckling that was rejected from another duck's clutch. Thursday duckling was the only egg that hatched in the original mom's nest and she wants nothing to do with th kid.
Foster mom Buckie seems to be accepting the li'l nipper at the moment. Even so, the kid has a massive uphill battle to adulthood. She's probably the kid's best chance, with some help from us humans, but letting her do most of the work so the kid knows it's still a duck. Our best ducks are the ones that know they are ducks, but also know some (not all) humans are super cool and can be played with and go for swims with and take naps with. but ultimately, you are a duck that likes certain humans, not a duck that was imprinted on humans. That gets MESSY,
