Our pond in 2006
It's been a VERY wet and rainy winter and early spring, but that didn't stop the mallards from visiting!
In fact, it's been fine weather for ducks! See below
| Images from April 1st |

The pond, as seen from the patio. |

The right side of the pond. No frost this year so last year's water plantain is still up!
|
The waterfall area.
|
The sunny bog had become overgrown, and the spirea didn't bloom well, so we dug it out and replanted the
area with douglas iris and dwarf yellow flag
|
Images from April 4th when our mallards again came to visit.
At least we *think* these are the same pair that has visited every March/April for 6 years now.
They stay about an hour.... |
Arrival: Can you find the female?

Feeding by the beach
|
Time out for grooming!

So pretty by the azalea.

We use the kitchen window as our 'blind'
|
This year they were so 'comfortable' that they even took a nap before departing.
