Duck, Duck, Goose

Duck.

Duck.


GOOSE!

I don't normally post on Saturdays, (and I'm normally not online on Saturdays), but for the A to Z Challenge I check in with a quick picture. So, while planning for D, I thought "duck", because we have dozens of ducks that live in the complex. 

So, I went to take pictures of said ducks last Friday only to find that all the ducks had disappeared. Poof. Gone. 

Considering the timing, I suspect that they're nesting someplace, and in the next week or so, there'll be way more ducks because they'll have ducklings. 

On Sunday while walking the dog, I found a few ducks out and about. Phew. Notice, males. And the pictures aren't great. Usually the fowl creatures are underfoot, but not then. But that's good enough for me. 

Do you see ducks near where you live? Got any critters that are just always underfoot?

Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...

  1. We have ducks at the pond in the large park to the south of us. I see ducks in the 2 nature preserves where I do some easy hiking.
    Critters in our yard? under the deck: a pair of rabbits. Getting ready to birth those bunnies! the poop is EVERYWHERE!!

  2. I'm right on the ocean, so I see lots of ducks, geese and seagulls. My C post was on Laughing Gulls..."Cachinnating Gulls on the Chabble". Yeah, those ducks may be nesting where you are. We're a bit chilly still.

  3. We have ducks here in the fountain pools at our condo complex, but when the big honking Canadian geese show up each year, they chase the ducks away 🙁
