This morning I was in the yard and a pair of wild Mallard ducks landed in one of the trees. They were on a wide limb up towards the top. I even went and got the binoculars to make sure they were ducks. Yep a male and female mallards. They stayed there about 5 minutes and then flew off! They were too far off to get a decent pic of them.
I'm going to show your post to Ian!! He didn't believe me when, a few years ago, I told him I'd seen a Mallard up a tree. Thanks for proving me right CK.
Strange indeed, an interesting observation Captain. I am only familiar with wood ducks roosting in trees. Most ducks sleep in water. Not confirmed, with one eye open! Half asleep? Jerry
Captain, those ducks saw your gorgeous place and just stopped to admire! We had two Northern Whistlers perch on the roof of our workshop last year. I think they were tired from migrating and took the first rest-stop they came to.
