36 Days Later

Which duck is the adult? The babies got most of their feathers this past week and the adults are molting away their breeding colors, so it's getting very difficult to tell them apart. The dark-headed one in the foreground is Daddy Quacks, and I think the one at the front of the line is Violet, but it may be one of the youngsters. There is one missing in this shot who is either in front of or behind the group. They are waiting patiently for me to fill a bucket with fresh water.
The hot pink flowers on the right are Four-O'Clocks, which do quite well here with a little extra watering.
