We, ...I think their muted coloration is beautiful. We, of course, have the Mallards over here and they, as you know are similar in coloration and behavior. <br /><br />Last winter I had a single male Mallard coming to my ground feeders that I put out mainly for the squirrels and the ground feeding birds like the Doves. I started putting out a little duck food from the feed store because all of the other ducks had moved on to where the waters were not frozen and they could eat. This one, I feared, was either injured or had stayed back with a mate that was injured. As it turned out he showed up later in the winter with the female and they continued to eat the feed. Then, of course, they had baby ducklings and started bringing them to the feeders ... this kept getting out of hand until this winter when all of them are hanging around because they can get food here. I had to stop putting the duck food out just so they would do what they need to do naturally. There are still a few hanging around ... I have my fingers crossed that they will move on while they can. It is a deep hole you dig when you start messing with nature. It is hard to find the appropriate balance that doesn't interfere with their natural behaviiors. Your very informative posts are helping me achieve that ... I thank you ever so much for that. They say, two minds are better than one and this is proof positive. Thanks again, Margaret.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-60847660047737398342013-11-21T02:06:40.413+10:002013-11-21T02:06:40.413+10:00wonderful, it was strange to see a duck in a tree-...wonderful, it was strange to see a duck in a tree-Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458351240865452950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-13838113649677890532013-11-21T00:43:58.220+10:002013-11-21T00:43:58.220+10:00Beautiful ducks, Margaret.

So adorable with the little ducklings too. Great video margaret, and am enjoying your videos. I will try to do a post on that eucalayptus wreath. It looks to me as if it is many small bundles of branches wired to a wire wreath backing. It has been very enjoyable in my shower and the smell is just amazing... seeming to last quite a long time too!
