And, when the ex-girlfriend got them, she said she was going to throw them in the trash, so the postal worker sent to the animal shelter. The note on the box said something like "plenty of chicks out there for me". Have you all heard about this? And, the new media making a big deal about the...

Hi! I am having problems with pictures showing up in my post. I uploaded 3 today and they show up when I edit the post, but when I publish, they don't show up. I've noticed that other people's photos from the last few days are also not showing up. Is this a glitch? Should I upload my photos...

This guy is adorable! I thought I would share. The wild mom has 7 ducklings, but this little guy seems to be about 7-10 days behind in development. But, he's extremely energetic and independent. I worry that a heron would eat him because he's the smallest. The others in his family are...

I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about a young duck with a gigantic crop? Turns out, it was probably because he was growing through a growth spurt. He's finally quit growing and looks fit now. He actually looks better than when he was dumped, which tells you a lot about his former...

I saw a nice, fairly tame pair of ringed teal at Lake Murray in San Diego today and I can't help but wonder if anyone here is missing a pair in this region? I couldn't find them an hour later, but I know they like to hang out in trees, so they might have been hiding. If I see them again and I...

There's a duck at Lake Murray whom I call "Baby Blue" because he was dumped there as a baby. I couldn't catch him, though, and he's managed to survive on his own and is now a very big duck at about 5 months old. Lately, I've been seeing him with a very large crop. It happened all of a sudden...

Jill, a mixed breed Greylag type goose lives at Lake Murray with the other domestic geese and has been there about four years, maybe a little less. She used to have a mate, Jack, but he disappeared almost two years ago. Since then, she hangs around a white Chinese gander and a Canada...

There is a domestic hybrid duck at the lake that I'm not sure what the breed is, but I think she has bantam appleyard or snowy mallard in her (she is around the size of a wild mallard). Her exclusive mate is a snowy mallard. She had ducklings last year, two of which survived and look mostly...

International Bird Rescue has put a camera in with their baby orphaned wood ducks and they're so cute! I love it when the put their faces up to the camera. One seems to be spinning around looking outside the box or whatever they're in. Here's a link...

I just found out that there is a park in the city of Turlock with 100 ducks and 50 geese and the city there is planning on auctioning them off. Carolina Waterfowl is trying to get a rescue going because these ducks are, most likely, going to be auctioned for meat. They are very friendly and...

I hope this is OK to post here because it's not so much as a rescue as a hope that someone can help me place a people-oriented drake that's at a local lake in San Diego. I can catch and transport him locally if needed. The drake has been at the lake since late last year, but, lately, has...

I got a call today about a tiny gosling that was staying all night next to his dead friend at Lake Murray. There was very bad weather last night, which is probably why his friend died. He appears to be about a week old or less. The staff there thought he was hatched at the lake, but he...

Whitney Houston died today of "unknown causes" at the age of 48.

As many of you know, I interact with some feral geese at a public lake. I have written a post about two Chinese ganders and about two grumpy geese on the other side of the lake. Well, the really mean gander got eaten by coyotes last July and everything has been very calm with the geese. The...

And I pretty much never feed them at all! I was at the lake, taking photos when a friend who likes to feed the ducks came up and we started talking. As I walked away, my friend began feeding the geese as he has always done for years. He doesn't feed them that much. This older guy came up...

Pepper is a 6 month old wild-hatched mallard-cayuga at the lake. He has six siblings and seven cousins, so he knows he's a duck and not a human or a dog, etc. I think I've seen Pepper fly, but I'm not sure. I also think one of his brothers, another hybrid, doesn't fly that much, either...

They just announced the duck stamp winner for 2012 a single wood duck painting. I saw all the entries and I am considering possibly entering for next year. Has anyone entered art into the contest? Did anyone see the entries for this year? Lots of wood ducks. I would have painted a gadwall...

One of the friendliest ducks at Lake Murray was found strangled by fishing line this morning. She was actually being towed around by another female before the other female was cut free. She used to be so friendly and happy to see people, even eating out of people's hands. Anyway, you can...

I think one of the wild mallard ducklings (about 7 weeks old) ate a rubber fishing lure this morning. I'm sure it's not the first time she's done that. Later, she tried to eat another, but I got it away from her. Not long after that, she tried to eat a third one, but just couldn't bite it...

I went out to the lake and there's this adorable juvenile wood duck out there that is really friendly towards me. Today, I noticed something weird about him. First, something was hanging off his mouth. So, I checked him out and took some photos and it looks like his tongue is hanging from the...
