Not long afterward, three chicks were hatched into the world. It was the third year in a row the mama duck returned to the Simmons’ yard on Discovery Bay Boulevard to renew the ritual of motherhood.
The Simmons named her Duck Duck, and keep tabs on her without being too intrusive. Her nest is deep in the flowerbed and difficult to spot, but she has allowed her adoptive family to take pictures – and mow the lawn.
