Up On The Roof

 It's difficult to photograph a pale-feathered female mallard sitting in a pile of leaves that are about the same color as she is. Kerry gave it his best shot. It doesn't help that she has her beak tucked under her wing. So this is Olivia, Larry's mate, sitting on a nest of eggs. How she will ever get those chicks off the roof when they hatch is beyond me. We don't know how long she has been up there so we can't even start watching for them. I'll keep you posted. Posted by Picasa

i wish the silly duck luck. good grief. maybe you should call ducks unlimited and see what they have to say about the wayward flatfoot you have. they might have some suggestions as to what you can do to help her, if you're so inclined
