Thought I would share a couple of photos of the ducks that come to feed under my bird feeder.
Every spring, a pair of ducks return to feed. This has been going on for 12 years. I'm not sure how long ducks live...so I don't really know if these are the originals.

The drake usually stands guard, while the hen feeds. He is extremely attentive to her.

The drake preening his feathers.
They have come up to within a foot from me...but will not accept food from my hand.
