No More Duckies Until Spring?
Saturday, December 31, 2011

On our way out of town Ann and I stopped at Buckingham Lake to give the ducks one last treat of some cracked corn before the new year... but there were no ducks to be seen. While the weather was fairly warm today, I'm guessing that the recent cold spell we had froze enough of the pond that the ducks headed off to someplace with more consistent open waters. Too bad, really - I've enjoyed feeding them (especially now that I have healthy food for them to eat!) and would have liked to have watched them one more time before the pond is frozen and still for winter. But I have no doubt they'll be back once the warmer weather returns.
