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.
