Water Fowl Update

When we moved into Maple Lake two white ducks were in residence. They would visit our yard almost daily and forage for edibles. Winter came, and things were difficult for people and animals. At some point, there was only one white duck. The lonely white duck wandered around by herself for awhile before befriending the geese. The geese were friendly, but there was still a void in her little ducky life. In the last few weeks the white duck has befriended this Mallard duck. They are inseparable. The Mallard is never more than a few feet from the Lonely White duck. He swims as fast as he can to keep up.

Bethany and Brian saw the Herring this week in the early morning with another Herring! So, we have a Herring pair! I am so excited about this. We might get a Herring nest built with Herring chicks. I haven't seen them, yet. I might just go on a Herring hunt some morning.
