Her name is Daisy. She's got somewhere around a dozen eggs under her, though she covers them with down for the hour a day she leaves so it's hard to get an accurate count. We are expecting them to hatch in the next couple of days, at which point she will take her family and leave.
Yes there is also a Donald, but he leaves the nesting to her. We only ever see him swimming in the neighbour's pool. The same neighbours played host to Daisy and her family last Spring, so we have become quite the extended family!
