A few years ago we had baby duck eggs in the bushes along side our house and the neighbor’s house.
After we put a trail camera in the yard so I wouldn’t miss the hatching of the babies, this happened …
I was heartbroken .
And so was momma duck when she returned …
Then the following year, love is a battlefield happened in my very own front yard …
But I never found any eggs nearby that year.
Or last year.
And then this happened Saturday afternoon …
And I ran out of my house like a bat out of _____. (I watched The Bible)
For those of you unaware of what they’re doing, they’re looking for a place for her to lay her eggs. They’ve already mated. If they hadn’t they would be …
And had she laid her eggs already, her baby daddy wouldn’t be any where in sight. He runs off once she lays her eggs.
So they are looking for a special place for her to deliver.
And I’m not taking any chances this year.
After I ran out of my house like a bat out of ____ (I watched The Bible), I quickly opened my gate and threw out a trail of breadcrumbs leading to my yard.
And …
OH. MY. GAWD …
They bedded down and waddled around my yard for a good hour and a half.
But I haven’t seen them since.
And I’m hoping she comes back on her own. Because I’d hate to have to resort to Plan B …
Me and …
A tackle, capture and a cardboard box.
Have a great day all!
