Duck Duck Deuce
This year a duck couple has been roaming our street incessantly. Even though there is a quite nice natural wetlands park and wildlife preserve right behind us, these two choose puddles over ponds. It's unfortunate because their meandering on our residential street puts them in danger. Some weeks ago I saw a dead duck along our street, so I know that sort of thing happens. It really was a sad sight to see. I hope these two stop their parade and go back to the safer refuge of the park. If only I spoke duck.
The unfortunate reality is that some bleeding heart neighbor is probably feeding them, and that's what is keeping them in the area. They are so tame, I'm assuming they have had past exposure to humans. They don't seem to have fear of us or our car. One time I had to stomp to scare them off our driveway, as I was trying to leave. They really are welcome chums, but for their safety, I wish they'd leave. Just today I took some pictures of them beside our driveway. The missus was admiring one of our puddles.
