The first tenants have arrived at the new Redstone on the Waters of Clear Lake Condominiums on North Shore Drive.  And even though construction is not yet complete, a mother Mallard duck is enjoying her room with a view.
    Developer Tim Stenberg, president of Joshua, Inc., said workers discovered the duck had made a nest  inside the lakeshore restaurant portion of the building last week.  Despite scaffolding and equipment, not to mention the pounding of hammers and crews climbing about, the duck seems content to sit on her eggs.
    Stenberg said he put in a call to the Clear Lake office of the Iowa Department of Natural Resoures, but was told they could not move the nest.  So, the builder has decided to cease construction in the nesting area.
    “We’re taking precautions to not disturb our new residents,” he said. “We’ll wait for the ducklings to come, and hopefully they’ll want to get out on the lake and explore.  Until then, we’re fine with Redstone being a comfortable place to call home.”
