I recently saw this pair of mallard ducks in a small pond. They were alone and seemingly investigating the edge of the shore, possibly looking for a good nesting site.

Seeing them pair off and start looking for nesting spots is a very good sign of spring.

A nicely hidden space among the long grasses from last summer might do very nicely for a little family.

Going forward I’ll be keeping out an eye out for them. I hope they find a nice, secure spot.
Happy Monday.
Ahhhh, house hunting is always such fun, especially when you find the perfect little nest. Happy Monday Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan.
Very true. I am reminded that at one point, I bought a house for us that M had only seen in pictures and video, and a few years later, he bought our present home that I had only seen in pictures and video (but I had all the specs, floor plan and architectural drawings and knew the street and site well, though). Both times we got the right one, so sometimes it’s a matter of knowing each other well. 😊

It will be fun to get updates on this couple and see their ducklings when the time comes.

I hope to keep track of them and their little ones, which is much better than keeping track of the snow ridge on the eaves of my house when I lived in the north last winter. 😊
