Big Birdies

I was so excited when I looked up from my computer, out the window, no more than five feet from me, two Mallards [Anas platyrhynchos], male and female, were eating the cracked corn. I was so excited when they landed in the pond, but this close. I took photos and some video. Now I have to put more food out so they will come back. They usually have babies and maybe everyone will come and feed eventually.

Little Squeaky watched the whole spectacle and must of been horrified to see birds bigger than her. Yet she was mesmerized by them. We must have been a sight.
