As Spring comes along I am coming to a close on all of the ducks' firsts for their first year of life. Come June they'll be one year old. They are enjoying their first Spring. They are most excited that the pool is open again for the season - as long as the hose that fills it doesn't freeze on our cold March nights. All four are laying one egg a night. They still bury their eggs, and they all share one common nest spot in their coop. They are busy foraging again, but are more restricted to certain areas of the yard as we have some sensitive flower gardens that need to come up before there is duck access. With April quickly approaching, there is still room for snow, but these quackers are happy with the greening yard. I'm guessing that Summer will be their favorite season - rain, puddles, worms, bugs, greens galore.

| Each one lays an egg a day. |

| Warmer mornings make ducks happy. |

| The pool froze overnight. |
 |
| But it thawed by mid-day, and they had loads of fun. |
 |
| Splashing. |

They love to bed down in fresh marsh hay.
Here they nestle against the greenhouse. |
