Three Years in a Row

This morning Elaine and I were out riding around and just checking things out and as we were checking the back pond Elaine spotted the mallard hen resting in some brush.. What is so exciting about this is that this is the 3rd year she has come back here , usually she is seen in the company of a couple of drakes, that isn't so uncommon but one of them is a wood duck and the other is a mallard. LAst year she laid and hatched 4 eggs and were were able to see thewm when they first were swimming with mother in the back pond but as they got older we got see them journey to the front pond about 200 yds away before they were gone for good. It was very exciting then and again now to have her back again. Please forgive no pictures today as we are waiting for a power supply for the computer that has all of the pictures loaded on it. Spring is here that is for sure.
We found our Paradise, hope you find yours too.
