That’s really sad. There’s a lot of heron here at the Chesapeake Bay. but sometimes I wonder if some of them could also be egrets or even ibises lol
I had one fly overhead and land on my duck house last year, all I could think of to do was scream until it flew away.

The herons stand around the ponds here hunting fish so easy to verify. Beautiful birds really, but I hate that they eat the ducklings.

We used to have a ton of ducks and Canadian geese, but the flocks are much smaller. I’ve wondered how much is due to predation vs avian influenza.

Not perfect in every detail but very far from bad. The young ducks are now going to spend the night in their new house.

Tomorrow I need to put up the roof panels and make a wire skirt around the bottom so ducks don't hide under their house. And a ramp. And move the fence. And so many things.

You know what they say... Good decisions come from experience, experience comes from bad decisions

I really have to rest and drink now (30+ C days) ... It was a lot of work. But I think they will enjoy their new home.

I realized why the ducks were talking so much this afternoon…I forgot to rinse and refill the pool They were mad! It wasn’t two seconds after I turned my back and I heard splashes.
