VAC-U-DUCK - Vac-U-Boat by Osmosis - FINISHED

Do you have Mallard ducks in your area? They may have been playing stranger danger around Vac-U-Duck. 😁

We see them occasionally but I guess it is just a seasonal thing.

He looks very handsome indeed!!

The locals look rather scruffy.... 🙂

 

Cheers....HOF.

Looks like a very successful voyage. The native ducks reacted pretty much as I expected even though I am kind of surprised they went ashore instead of just swimming further out into the lake.

 

Congratulations Art

Thanks,

 

We sort of had them pinned in a small corner and that was their only way out. Yes hof the local muscovy ducks are scruffy to put it mildly. They are more like very large feathered rats in my opinion. The ugliest ducks I have ever seen.

We get Mallards, Canada geese and a number of wading birds (herons, egrets mostly).

great job!   he will be lonely though.......it will depend on the breed and whether or not they will accept him into their flock...or gaggle,  but I think that's only for Geese.  usually there is only one male.  he protects the flock.

this is the closest he would come to me......I'm out in the water with the camera.  when he got the impression that I wasn't coming any closer,  he went back to his brood.

that's him by the rock.  yours likely has a more male appearance....so fraternization might be a problem.   decoys are used during hunting to lure other ducks to join them.......I'm sure you know that,  but that's the reason they work.......they see one on the water,  so they come in to check them out.  if it's a female,  they may get closer to flirt.  I took a bunch of pictures at the Pascataquag { I may have misspelt} river by our home in 2015.  the river was really low then,  and the admiral and I went to check it out.  brought back memories of when I was a kid.......run down the river to swim,  fish........or catch critters
