I pulled into a parking lot recently only to find it full of ducks, mallards, who were clearly making themselves at home. It was a mystery until I pulled back and looked a little further.
Then I remembered that I’ve seen pans of food left near Del’s Feed and noticed a well-picked-over spot on the pavement where lunch had been.
Gosh how I love blogging…makes me search for information. I just checked group names for birds and discovered for mallards it’s either flush or sord. Now did you know that before when you saw this group of well-fed mallards. I do agree with you, tho, on your comment yesterday about NOT FEEDING wild animals.
Thanks, Kate! I just thought of them as a “flock.” Now I’ve got new terms to learn, too.
Too funny… I’d love to see this!
