Today, daughter Becky, went by the Factory St. pond. She saw no face in the hole of the duck box so she sucked several times on the back of her hand to make a squeeking sound. Figured the 2 men across the street thought she must be off her rocker but so what!! She knew what she was doing 'cause she'd done it before. Mama taught her.
To her great delight .... the hole soon had an adorable little face in it. Hey, that made her day & ours!!! Then she came up & helped me clean away more garden mess while 6 or 8 bluebirds flitted around in the nearby trees. The 100 acre field behind us was mowed today so many crows, 1 red-tail hawk, 1 TV & maybe 200 rb gulls were scavenging for dead or injured rodents. Then, with the evening rain, came the flocks of "blackbirds" & robins heading to their MNWR roosts. For those of you who missed the Aurora Borealis last evening, you can go to Spaceweather.com & see many fabulous photos sent in from many different states. It's worth your time!!
