Ducks in Snow
We didn't have tracks like these in the backyard last winter. What could they be?
No, not the robins, who paid a visit to the water tray the day before.
Not the wild turkey that surprised us with a visit last year.
Here they are. Not snowy owls or snowy egrets, but the great snow ducks of the notsonorth, heading for ...
minipond heaven, or at least haven, courtesy of the recent rains.
The ducks show far more courage than their coopmates, who are playing chicken in the warmest corner they can find.
