I used to ...Kruel - I used to have a cat like that. I used to scare her on purpose. I thought it was funny, but then the cat would try to bite me.<br />-<br /><br />Diane T - The ducks around here are pretty safe from that. I think we have some foxes and coyotes, but not too many. I'd love to see some of the other kinds of ducks other than mallards. The lack of predators has left us overrun with geese though.<br />-<br /><br />Icy BC - It was really fun because I never saw anything like it before. That duck was very fast.<br />-<br /><br />Vagabonde - That would have been fun to watch. I wonder how they finally got over, and if mom had to go back and help.<br />-<br /><br />The Retired One - I would love to see one scolding me. I've had squirrels do it plenty of times, but never a duck.<br />-<br /><br />Rainfield - I don't think the duck thought I cared. It was more worried about not becoming a meal.<br />-<br /><br />Ginnymo - That little duck was the highlight of my day. I hope to see something like that again some time.<br />-<br /><br />Poetic Shutterbug - It kind of acted like a mini speed boat. It almost seem like it had a motor strapped to it.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-59352840260734587702009-05-21T15:18:44.546-05:002009-05-21T15:18:44.546-05:00It looks like a mini speed boat dashing away.

They were trying to follow mom who had gone over a log, and kept tying and would fall back in the water. It was so interesting to watch that I forgot to take photos of them!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-69867651686663947982009-05-21T08:02:37.942-05:002009-05-21T08:02:37.942-05:00It must be a joy to watch those ducklings, especia...It must be a joy to watch those ducklings, especially when it left "water-track" like the one in the second picture..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-45854238993434708202009-05-21T07:52:22.700-05:002009-05-21T07:52:22.700-05:00Hi, Ratty!

What freaks me out is how the little guys disappear so regularly with predation, and in the end our ducks usually have only one or two ducklings. Natural selection at work, I guess. Keep 'em coming!
