    This mallard male, whom in a brilliant moment of blazing insight I have named Duckie, has an injured left foot that he can't put any weight on at all. Every morning he flies in, does a controlled crash landing in my yard, then hops one footed toward the feeding area. I always give him a generous...

    I always knew ducks could swim IN the water, but I never knew they could WALK ON the water!

    WAIT FOR ME!

    Was looking over this small pond at some mallards when I saw one in the water getting ready to hop out over this rock wall to get with her buddies. I waited for her to make her leap and managed to snap this. The shade and bright sunlight seems to have confused my camera. I thought it would be a...

    SAT FUN: Chillaxin.

    Here's Ms Mallard after she relaxed a bit. I was actually planning on mowing the grass in this area yesterday. As you can see, it needs a mow badly. But Ms Mallard was snoozing so peacefully, I decided to mow everywhere else and leave this patch for later. She stayed for about an hour.

    Had another visit from Ms Mallard again yesterday. She sauntered into the yard, nibbled up some birdseed, then went to a sunny patch and snoozed in the grass for a while. Here she's a tad concerned because I was trying to sneak up on her for some photos, but as soon as she realized there was no...

    Ducks?!

    As we have no pond or fountain or large brook in our yard, and none nearby, I have to say it came as something of a surprise when I saw these two wandering around on our yard.

    I can't help thinking the duck waving it's wings is saying, "Stop mindlessly milling about and everybody go THAT way!!" lol

    Mallard ducks are probably one of the most common ducks in Michigan. I grew up in Traverse City, Michigan which has dozens of lakes and two very large bays that eventually become part of Lake Michigan. My family lived near a creek that formed a barrier between a large woods and civilization. I...
