Well it seems that it wasn’t only kids playing hooky yesterday, as there was a small group of ducks playing in the pond yesterday. The Blue-winged Teal ducks were swimming and were napping in the warm sun. It was interesting watching one of the male ducks tuck its head on its back and go to sleep but the wind was strong enough, that it was pushing the floating duck to the other side of the pond. He would wake up and swim back to the other side and then settle down for another nap and ride.
When evening approached, then the some ducks explored the pond for food while others were bobbing their heads up in the mating ritual but it appeared some of the males weren’t too popular with the girls.
