Count me in

This mallard must have missed his flight south.  He will be counted in our annual Christmas bird count this week end.

 

Lucky Duckies

Heading out for a Sunday evening drive, we chanced upon some eagles with dinner plans.  At least three where circling and swooping over a couple of ducklings just off Mameigwiess Road.

Every time an eagle decsended to skim across the water, the ducks.. ducked.

Our presence was enough to scare the predators off.

Turkey Time!

Happy Thanksgiving!
This duck is thankful he’s not on the menu!

Got an Itch?

A duck’s neck is very flexible! How’s this for a move?

I’m certain these ducks in the creek are the family that we’ve watched grow up in our bay. They didn’t seem the least bothered by Lindor having a swim just a few feet from them.
