There is a pair of Mallards that come up to the bird feeders quite often to eat and lately have been spending time just sitting and watching the world go by. If we go out while they are here, they will get up and move a short distance away and then come back after we go inside. We think it is the same pair we have had here in previous years. Guess they made it south and back again without getting shot by a hunter. Here are a couple pictures with them sitting and taking it easy.
This is the close up shot. They are sitting under two Arborvitae trees that are behind the garage and are close to the bird feeders.
