Web footed friends

mallards.jpg

A pair of mallards that have moved into the neighborhood. They built a nest in the tall grass behind our fence. The neighbors across the alley have a little pond with fish in it. The ducks have eaten all the fish. Today the ducks came around to the front yard. From the porch, I threw two Cheez-Its (get your own box) to them. The male just watched as the female ate. I threw two more and the female ate those too. Then I threw four down, and the male moved in for his. It was very interesting to watch.
