Not far from my home on Salem Avenue is a small city park with a pond. Over the years domestic ducks and geese have been abandoned there.
They have survived quite well because feeding them is a fun pastime for people in the neighborhood.
Wild mallard ducks often make the pond a stopping place in their migration. Some find the living there pretty easy and decided to stay.
This has resulted in some interesting cross breeding of domestic and wild ducks. Diversity is the word when it comes to the Feral Ducks of the Nature Park Pond.
Some say that this genetic evolution has led to mutant ducks having super powers. They are being guided by Xavier Duck.
At night they dress in spandex costumes and use their amazing super powers to save ducks being threatened by evil.

Almost lost my mouthful of coffee all over the computer screen.
Great photos. Really cute. You made me laugh.
What a great duck tale....
Fun post, Leenie! The scenes are just ducky!
When the kids were little, we had a flock of Rouen ducks (they look like big Mallards, but can't fly) and one year one of them had a fling with a wild Mallard down a the creek. Their offspring would try to fly, but couldn't....it was rather sad, really.
You made me laugh and laugh! Thanks for the cheer!

That spandex image made me chuckle.
I love your picture of the ducks on the water, the third one down. Can I use it on my homework to show my teacher as an example of rhythm? It is my photo 2 class.
thank you,
Zach
Zach V: Thanks for asking to use the duck photo. You have my permission to use it as long as it is for your class. Leenie
