Flying day for the Mallards!

Not yet. The youngest doues not have flight feathers yet. I think that would make him racoon bait.

Okay. Yeah probably.

That's great! Oh, okay yes those claws hurt!

Oh and they might crash into you.

It's happened to me!

O no, that's what I'm afraid of. That must have hurt. Well at least yours are mallards.. imagine a 15lb Muscovy drake crashing into you

I don't really know anything about ducks BUT, the wild mallards out here survive our bitter cold winters- I don't know how, If they find any body of flowing water (even tiny) they are out on it. We also have the Canadian Geese that never migrate. What on earth could they be feeding on?

Good to know. My mallards are just starting to fly and i am concerned that they figure it out and have the desire before winter. If one stays behind at least i know he'll make it through the winter with my sweedish ducks.

Whoooooo who! My mallards are flying as of today. Their landings are hysterical! They land head first.

It wasn't bad. Now that would hurt!

Daryl flew away.

Tomorrow morning the rest of them go to the wetlands so that they will at least be together. My 2 sweedish ducks will miss them.

Freedom today...

Nearly everyone was happy...
