8017exinP Rosy-billed Pochard and her brood

Momma duck was difficult enough to see swimming through all the greenery, but it wasn't until I zoomed for a closer look that I could even make out her ducklings.

 

I believe the waterplant is Giant Salvinia. It covered the pond. ID help always appreciated.
