When Nancy McPeak and I were making ready our boat to go birding

on the lake today, a Mallard hen flushed from the back floor where it

had built a nest using the rope tied to an anchor. She had evidently

wrapped the rope around and around to make the nest bowl. She

usually lays an egg a day up to about 13 eggs or so. If that is the case,

she laid the first of three eggs Saturday.
