Well, we now not only have a dog, but also a duck!! As Chuck (Matt's dad) was mowing our yard on Saturday, he looked in our "Tall Grass" in the front yard landscaping and saw a female duck just sitting there! Even with the noise of the mower coming very close to her nesting place, she still didn't budge. Chuck said she was probably sitting on 8-10 eggs! We all were amazed and also wondering "why our yard???" There is no pond or even a puddle close to our yard, so the lack of water would be an issue. Also, as you can see in the picture, the old chopped-off grass from last year is very difficult to walk through... she must have flown or jumped into the middle of the old grass. We can't wait to see how many (if any) ducklings we will have this spring and just how they will get to the water. Hopefully some hungry animal doesn't get to them before they hatch!
