Yesterday and today boasted idyllic weather. Out for my morning run, I witnessed nature’s finest on display– chirping cardinals, scampering squirrels, flowers in full-bloom… someday I’m really going to have to drag my camera along when I run!
All too soon, the temperatures’ll rise to the stifling 100+ category. But I’m not going to dwell on this gloomy prospect; instead, I’m taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather while it lasts. Spring is truly here, and it’s brought with it new life. For the past few weeks, we’ve watched a mamma duck sit dilligently on her nest, waiting for her eggs to hatch. Well, they’ve finally hatched!
So here they are– our new neighbors!
Hopefully the resident ducks gave them a warm welcome.
The resident ducks are five ducks that have lived in our neighborhood pond for the past few years. We’ve dubbed their leader as “Moe”. Look at his picture (below) and see if you can guess why!
Aww there so cute!
How sweet. Those little babies are so cute!
And Moe is too funny!
Thank you so much for posting those pictures. On a gloomy morning (here in VA, at least) this made me smile 🙂
Oh! how sweet! they’re so cute running after the mamma-duck! And Moe is really funny!
awwwwww!
moe = mohawk?
Oh my goodness, those are so cute!!! I love baby duckies, hehe.
Ha ha, I totally cracked up when I saw Moe! He’s got a rockin’ hairdo for a duck =p
The baby ducks are so adorable!
You made my day with this duck post! Years ago I raised 5 baby ducklings whose mama had been hit by a car. They were on the street refusing to leave her side, so small they could not get up onto the curb. After a wildlife rehab facility said they’d euthanize them for not being mallards, we took them home and raised them in a spare bathroom. We’d fill the bathtub for them nightly and watch them race around under water, when you’d open the bathroom door their little heads would peak up from inside the bathtub and they’d ‘CHEEP CHEEP’ at us, you should have seen the excitement when they got meal worms! When they grew a little they graduated to the back yard, and finally they flew away on their own when they were old enough. They were so amazing and fun, thanks so much for reminding me of them!
Awww, I miss all the ducks and bunnies! We always had wild bunnies in Richardson, but my friend who lives right on Canyon Creek always has ducks 🙂
Could you pass some Texas summer over here? Because it’s in the 50s here. And apparently supposed to rain more today. UGH.
!!!!!Yay!!!!! Too cute! I especially enjoy the wee ones when they try to hop over curbs! You really captured some incredible photos Katie! This made my morning, thank you! And Moe, you are right, he looks an awful lot like Afro Duck who lives in a pond near my apartment!
