Puddle Ducks

The recent rain storm created some puddles near the Woodpile. It got me thinking about them. I overhead Mom talking to someone about "puddle ducks." It did not sound like a nice thing to say about our feathered friends in the pond. We critters have rights too. While I was thinking about using this blog to draw attention to this injustice I heard a flutter of feathers. The mallards descended upon the Woodpile to gobble up the corn. What is the first thing they do? They jumped in the puddle! Splash, splash. [Ducks] "Look the perfect puddle."

Two mallards share a puddle.
