Ducks are BACK~World Wildlife Day

 

Our three ducks came back and were swimming in the pool, I took 4 photos all of which were great of the ducks but not the pool or deck they were in and on.

Above is a combo of 3 of the photos, I removed the background and found beautiful green grass on PicMonkey free photos and popped them in. 

We are here to celebrate World Wildlife Day, connecting people and our planet.

I simply stomped my feet right after I took this photo and the three of them lifted up across the pool over the roof  in perfect synchronization.

not good, but better with help from PicMonkey, see below

Up, Up and Away we love you guys

Osprey on Nature Friday

 

While we walked Beau at Bray Park on Sunday May 7th, the Osprey nest is still occupied, we saw Mama and babies, could not get the cell phone to focus that high up.

I found these photos in my archives. The park was full of huge black crows, and we saw a few ducks.

THE END for today's archive dive

It Is a Duck

 

Meet Mama Duck! She is the new resident in our pool. I made the collage and put Mallard on it, but then decided she is a Spotted black duck, and now believe she is a 

Mama Mexican Black Duck. Now after another look, she might just be American Black Mottled Duckk

Please ID her for me! She is unafraid of Beau and of Me and Bob, lets me walk around talking to her.

She glides around dipping her beak in and out, in and out.

Our pool is full of avocado buds dropping like rain and lots of bugs of all kinds and spiders.She appears to be eating.

We love her no matter which duck she is.

What Am I? other than to cute for words!

Muscovy Ducks -Nature Friday

18 Muscovy Ducks appeared in our front yard, I stood on the porch and watched as they pecked and pooped their way accoss the yard and on over the driveway.. After the photos I clapped my hands and scared them across the street. They leave huge piles of poop, and must poop every 3 minutes EACH.

We have to watch Big Boy, A.K.A. POOP sniffer, while we are walking because we will be moving along at a nice speed and he will STOP and try to lay his head down, to YOU KNOW get the best view/smell.
I did say to Bob once, the internet DOES say they are edible.... YUCK! not me!

Back before ME, Bob said he used a cast net to catch 2 dozen of these ducks, because a farmer wanted them. He came in his pickup truck with crates and Bob rid the neighborhood of them, with no harm done to the ducks. Guess what, there were MORE in just a few weeks.

Walk A Mile Duck Crossing

To bad there is a need for a sign to warn people to watch out for the neighborhood ducks. You would think everyone would KNOW....

In 1990, I got my Real Estate license and like others before me had no clue how to list or sell a home. I got my start because a friend in our Sunday School class, said to me, My mother has had her house listed for over a year. It is small and in a really bad neighborhood. Do you think you can help her?

I listed the house and we all started to pray, enlisted the senior women's SS class that the owner attended .
The house was in an area filled with hookers and homeless wanderers... It SOLD in 30 days. It sold to a HOOKER... I advised the lady to keep most of her money and buy a condo and showed her the perfect one.  I became known at our RE office as The Condo Queen because that sale caused a flood of women in her SS class to decide to list with me and buy a condo...

 My first two years of sales were thanks to the sale of that one home. The house below was one of my listing from the Church. Our Pastor called me and said I hear from the Seniors here you are the person to list my house.   It sold to a nurse and is still as pretty as it was then.

A duck walks into a pharmacy and says "do you have any chapstick?"

When the pharmacist hands it to the duck he says,

Thanks, just put it on my bill.....

Which side of the duck has the most feathers?

The outside..

A man in a movie notices what looks like a duck sitting next to him. "Are you a duck? the man says surprised? 

Yes...

Then what are you doing at a movie?

Well, said the duck, I liked to the book....

Click on the dancing birds to see all the beauty
Did you know ducks can dance? Floating in the water, they are pretty, but when they dance across the water they are magnificent.

Moorhen, I think. Am I right TexWisGirl?

Diving lessons anyone?
