Gorgeous bird. Love seeing these guys around the neighborhood. Seems I see more here than I do out in West Central MN these days though. In the past 2 years, I think I went duck hunting twice. There just aren't many around out there anymore. Dad says they've changed their flight patterns. Hopefully they'll change back soon. I miss sitting in a duck blind with my dad, brother and the dog. I miss laying in a corn field with 1,000s of ducks overhead making the sweetest sound on earth -- that whistley sound they make.
On a funnier note... a girl riding her bike down my street the other day was chasing a duck and was yelling "AFLAC, AFLAC" in the duck's voice. Too funny. Thinking she might watch too much TV though?!

Great story. I love how a picture can be associated to memories.
ReplyDeleteWe witness a similar thing on Vermilion, not ducks around. We used to see squadrons of mallards. But they all seem to be in the metro area. Too funny, AFLAC!
