Just as I was coming home this afternoon I saw these two leaving my front yard. This is the second time in a week that I've seen a female Mallard in my yard. In 30 years here, we've never had ducks - probably because we have no water nearby - no pools, no ponds, no streams or creeks! My guess is they're looking for a nesting site which is good (photo ops) and bad (how to collect them all and get them to water when they hatch). The saga continues...
