The Duckling by the Easter Egg Basket

A young duck moves through the lake close to the shore, where reeds grow beside a basket of patterned Easter eggs. The calm waterside setting joins a real spring animal with a familiar Easter tradition without taking the duckling out of its natural environment.

Duckling and Lakeshore Facts

Ducklings have water-resistant outer feathers, while soft down beneath them helps retain warmth. They often stay close to an adult duck while learning where to feed and how to respond to danger. Reeds along a lakeshore can slow moving water and provide cover for many small animals.

Natural Colors for the Duckling, Water, Reeds, and Eggs

  • Duckling down: yellow, brown, cream, black, or a mottled combination, depending on the species
  • Duckling bill: yellow, orange, olive, gray, or dark brown
  • Lake water: blue, green, brown, or silver where the sky is reflected
  • Reeds: fresh green in spring, with tan or brown older stems
  • Decorated Easter eggs: soft or bright shades of pink, blue, yellow, purple, green, and red
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How can a duckling swim soon after hatching?
Ducklings are able to walk and swim shortly after leaving the egg. Even so, they rely on an adult for protection, warmth, and guidance.
Why does water roll off a duck's feathers?
Ducks spread oil from a gland near the tail across their feathers while preening. The feather structure and oil help keep water away from the skin.
What do ducklings eat near a lake?
Their diet can include tiny aquatic animals, insects, seeds, and soft plant material. What they find varies with their species, age, and habitat.
