Tick

So now all three ducks are nesting, these two babies don't have any eggs though.

I'm a little concerned about Ralphy at the moment. Yesterday I noticed what appeared to be a small tick just under his beak. As it was dark I didn't want to worry about it until after I received a second opinion. Well I looked at it today and I still think its a tick. I thought about trying to catch him but I'm not sure how its going to go. Surely he'd be able to pick it out?

I was told not to worry and to just let nature take its course. I don't want to let Ralphy die. Here's hoping Ralphetta sees it and picks it off her husband.
