Ducks!

Post by Krom »

A few weeks ago we heard a large bird flying around our front porch a few times, and after further investigation we found a duck nesting in one of our flower beds:

So we abandon our plans to prune or trim around the flower bed for the time being, and a few weeks later we notice a significant increase in activity:


And the next day after that, the security camera system captured this:

That's great!
Where I live all the backyards open to a bike trail which is a city park with an oxbow lake in the middle. My neighbors all feed the ducks (It's against the law I heard). Those ducks are so spoiled.

My wife and I fed our ducks only ONCE because they got violent over my Pringles chips I was feeding them. When I told my mother, she was upset. Told me chips were not healthy for ducks. Over all, a pretty bad experience. The ducks got mad... my mom got mad... I was breaking the law, so uncle sam got mad.. everyone was mad.....

You've got ducks. Just up the hill from me, I have these kitties for neighbors. Caught on their wildlife cam mounted on the side of their driveway.

She'll probably be back next year to raise another clutch.

We have seen the pair in the neighborhood, but they haven't nested in exactly the same place this year.
