Not Lonely Anymore

Remember my lonely little buff duck?  She’s the last duck I had left.

She got a great present today!  Three young ducks, almost fully feathered.

There are two anconas and one Cayuga.

They’re a bit nervous yet, but they are checking everything out.

And being checked out by some curious geese.

My little buff girl quickly perked up and started wagging her tail.

Finally, someone that speaks the same language!

Quack.  Quack.  Quack.

Birds and Blooms

I finally have a couple of iris that have opened up.

I’m not sure what kind of bush this is, but it’s all over the place.  The goats don’t even seem to like it.

The crabapple blossoms might be gone, but we have the start of some tiny little crabapples.

At some point, I have to wonder, when do I say enough with the goldfinch pictures?  They just make it so easy.

Even the lady cardinal has been more cooperative.

Now I just need to remember to have my camera ready when the hummingbird and orioles are at the feeders.

Goldfinches

I’m really enjoying the bird feeder by the window.  Someday I’ll have to figure out what to do with the moisture.

Been pretty busy with kids.  I hope I’ll have time to really update you tomorrow.

These are all SOOC for SOOC Sunday.  I’m also sharing with Macro Monday 2 and Monday Mellow Yellows.
