Cutie Pies! It's amazing how a few feathers can keep their bodies so warm during the colder weather.Why didn't you fly South for the winter like the human snowbirds? HG
I've got such a headache!! I think I was hit in the head with a Mallard.
So is the picture a new traveling ice show like "Disney on ice" that you see advertised at the CCC. You know "Ducks On Ice". I bet they get top billing.
Robin you quack me up!!!!!
Ok, I'll stop egging you on.
I'm migrating south till the ice leaves the ponds and I can duck the snow storms.

Robin, I thought of you this morning. Amongst all this blustery snow, Nick called me to the door to tell me iI have to see something. There was an American black duck sitting on my front sidewalk. All by himself but boy was he beautiful against all that white snow. My camera skills are sorely lacking and I was wishing you were here to snap a pic.
And yes, snowing again as I write this. And, again, I'm taking pictures of birds in snow even though I haven't gotten dressed! Black ducks are beautiful. We have loads of them in the cove over the winter and Mallards hang out with them, too. I see a hybrid once a year or so in the bunch. Takes a lot of looking over the duck hoards to spot one though! Practice, practice on gloomy days with the camera so when another duck shows up you'll be ready for the shot! At least, that's my excuse for not getting the laundry done.......Thanks for reading and looking!
They are sooooooooooooooooo cute! We are just ducky too. Can't wait to see you two. Let us know your schedule once you work it out. Glad to hear your grandma is doing better. Hugs B
They do look happy, don't they? Though I did not do so, these ducks clearly were accustomed to being fed. Probably what they were thinking was "Yipee! Bring on the bread!" Thanks, Hilke, B., and Betty B. for reading.
Looking for a place to swim? Good Luck Duckies!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic
Thanks, Nanny. Who doesn't just love a duck, anyway?
