Ducks in trees? Given the day, this might sound as if it is an April Fool’s gag. It isn’t.
About a half-dozen local ducks will nest in trees, among them, the beautiful Wood Duck. It is a bit early to see the nests, but these pictures show that nesting is on the ducks’ minds.
“This is a terrible time of year to be alone on the pond.”
“Hey, big boy I am calling to you down there on the pond — yes, you.”
“OK, I came up into the tree with you — now what?”
“Look, maybe I will have to explain this nesting business to you.”
Lovely captions, Alistair.
the photos are lovely too.
