an unwanted surprise

This morning my sister went out to the chicken coop to see if they had laid an egg or two last night. on her way down she noticed that our ducks were hiding behind their house. So, she went over to see what was the matter, and low and behold, one of our duckys seemed to have been attacked by some sort of animal or something. Her wing was all covered in blood, and her feathers were ruffled.
So, my mom went to check her out. It appears that the wound isn't too deep, and the duck is likely to survive... but i am none to pleased that we have an animal here again trying to eat our duckys. Last summer we had a fox that got to over half of them over the course of the season. I hope that we don't have the same visitor this summer. :/
