Spring Ducks 2020

It has been a relatively nice Spring.  The ladies have started laying eggs again, and are happy splashing in their pool, too.  They have had a very familiar visitor this Spring.  A very calm around people sort of Mallard.  Could it be the released wild mallard sister coming back to say hello?  Only they know. 

First eggs of the season April 9th.  

Monochrome trio April 10th.  

Can't wait to share eggs with the neighbors.  

Duck egg, chicken egg, duck egg, duck egg. 
Duck eggs are much larger than chicken eggs.

This mallard is fearless.  

Ms. Mallard

I think we know each other.  

Hello.  

Ms. Mallard 

Mr. Mallard is way more frightened, and hangs out on the roof. 
He is usually the one to convince Ms. Mallard that she has to go.  

And here is the joy of the Spring pool.  

They would like it deeper, but then they have the hardest 

time figuring out how to get in and out of a bigger pool.
