There is a variety of wildlife at the back of the house primarily the ducks, which have
been named!
These are my favorite ducks - they have the most obvious personalities. They are
Deidre, Morty, and Bruno. Morty is polite enough to use the paved walkway up from the
stream. The ducks have to hop up 8 steps to our garden. Morty and one other duck will
actually eat out of my hand.

Morty, Diedre and Bruno |
Morty has a tendency to come up to the back
door and tap at the glass to get me to feed him. |

....feeding Blanca she will eat directly from
my hand and she did let me pet her once. Apparently she has never been touched by a human
until now |
Blanca is called that because she has very bad
blonde coloring for a mallard female. |

These are the Boys. their women are off sitting
on nests so they are doing a little male bonding. |
