Noticed some new (albeit temporary?) residents on a neighbor's property...
At first I just saw some white movement in the distance and wasn't sure what it was. Then with the camera zoom (above) I was able to see ducks!

I swapped out the telephoto lens and zoomed way in and captured them in all their beauty. There were only three of them but they hung around together everywhere they went.

I noticed that there is a little pond back there and I'm sure that is why they were hanging around. I asked 2nd Family if they knew if these neighbors had ducks and they didn't think so. We're not sure if they were just passing through, I'll see if they are back again next time we're out there. Makes me wonder if someday, after we have a pond dug, will we get our own ducks?
Anyone ever have temporary duck visitors like this?
They're beautiful. Kinda nice to have the quackers around.

A man and a duck are walking down the street together. Suddenly the man notices a low-flying airplane coming right for them. The man yells "DUCK!!!!" and the duck looks back at the man with an angry face and yells "MAN!!!!"
A duck walks into a pharmacy and says, "Do you have any chapstick?" When the pharmacist hands it to him, the duck replies, "Thanks, just put it on my bill."
TOO FUNNY! Those made me laugh out loud!!
DeleteDucks on a pond make such a peaceful scene.
ReplyDeleteAnother bit of tranquility for y'all to look forward to when you have your own farm pond.
They do don't they? Kind of amazing how just seeing them is so calming...and happy!
DeleteIf you build a pond, they will come... they might even let you see them. =)
ReplyDeleteWe would be fine with that for sure!!

ReplyDeletesafe for work; just a funny for the day. quack it up!
DeleteThat is so fun! I loved those cartoons and of course have never seen that one that I remember anyway. Love it. Thanks for another smile for the day.
Deletethey are lovely but where did they come from,,,,, they are tame ducks so someone must have them close by, when your pond is dug maybe they will move into your property, they certainly look healthy!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are young ducks on the loose!
I would love to see some little ones. We're not sure where they came from...lots of farms around ,perhaps they were just stopping off for a drink and some relaxation and then moved on, ha. Thanks!!
Delete1st Man,
ReplyDeleteThey look like someone's pets or farm animals. Probably a neighbor....
We wondered that too. They were healthy and obviously not wild. I wonder how many times they just come and visit when we're not there? Ha!
DeletePekins... not a wild duck. They are lovely, and I loved keeping ducks for years. Make sure you have somewhere for them to duck their bills and clean themselves if you don't have a pond! :-)
ReplyDeletePekins?? Wow, cool, I learned something new today! We have a pond on a medium term list (not long term not short term, ha). I would love to have ducks. Thanks for the info!! :-)
