Puddle Ducks!






The snow is finally melting here!! In the last week, we've lost most of it, and actually had temperatures in the 60's! On April 15, 2 ducks showed up in our driveway, swimming around in the puddle created from all the melt-off. I have nicknamed the "Puddle Ducks", because they spent 2 days playing in the puddle. They're actually a pair of American Black Ducks- and I believe they might be 2 females. They have since found their way down to our pond, and I've been leaving chicken feed down there for them, in hopes that they will stay. So far, they've been here for 4 days, and as the pond melts, they can be found in different spots each day. They're quite pretty, and I hope they will invite their friends to come and play as well!
