What the heck is it with ducks? They don't seem to have any sense when it comes to picking out nesting areas. I would have thought that they would have learned about swamps and things. Instead you see them marching across busy expressways and such with their brood of ducklings. I once saw a mallard nesting next to the front door of Arbys in Canandaigua. Every customer in and out of that place walked within 3 feet of the silly duck. And of course later on everyone in and out of the parking lot was trying to dodge all the baby ducks marching around the parking spaces.

had heifer from the neighbor nesting underneath my bedroom window years ago in Hinsdale NY. That sucked, including the fertilizer the dang thing left behind, and the hoof prints in the soft ground....sonofabee....

When guys around here talk about a "heifer from the neighborhood" they are referring to something other than a animal!!lLOL

I think they are so simple minded that it's just programed into them where to go and instinct takes over where to nest.

 

Looking forward to your pics Jeremy K!
