So...the other day, Elliott decided to fly from the rear of our property to the side pasture.

I figured he wouldn't fly much because, well, he can't see, and big Muscovy drakes typically can't fly very high or for long distances. He flew like an eagle right past us and over our heads, landing on the other side of the fence from where the duck pools are and looked rather confused about why he couldn't get back. While it was neat to have witnessed, his wings are now clipped and his flying days are over for now. He is full of surprises!

Here he is exercising his wings (practicing for his maiden flight, in retrospect):

Wow talk about daring! He could of flown off a cliff and not known. He could of flown straight into a wall! Or a fence! What was he thinking??? LOL

I am glad to hear Elliot is now grounded.

I am glad to hear Elliot is now grounded.

You're laughing with her! Glad it sounds pretty harmless.

I was able to get pretty close to Elliott today and got some good pics. I know he has good hearing and that he knew I was nearby, but he let me take photos.
