abduction

We had a momma duck chose a spot to feather her nest beside our garage next to the hydragea bush. She sat on the eggs for two weeks. Yesterday when I went out in the morning to go to work, I saw her in the backyard. She was preening and shaking out her feathers as she walked away. It looked exactly as if she was saying "Enough of of this. I'm moving on." Sure enough when I got home from work, her nest sat uncovered with two lone eggs in it. I waited to see what would happen. When I went out this morning, the eggs were gone. Some raccoon had a treat last night.
