We didn’t have much snow this winter so our spring isn’t as wet as it usually is. No snow means no melt which means no big backyard puddles for our annual visiting pair of ducks to splash.

But here they are.

No water meant they didn’t stay long, but it was nice to see them again.

We had ducks at our bird feeder the other night and I was thrilled. They didn’t stay long either. 😒

Ours usually hang out for weeks, but it’s been so dry I doubt we’ll see them much.

Maybe it is a good thing the ducks are not sticking around. Geese and ducks are returning to the north, but some are bringing bird flu with them. Dead bodies are being found in too many places. The long travel to get here while fighting bird flu means they are too weak to survive. And our crows and ravens are feeding on them. I hope they are immune, or we could have a pandemic on our hands. What would this world be like without birds?

That’s a bit scary. With that in mind, it’s probably better to spread the feed around in a long trail and not leave out communal water so any risks don’t spread.

A local park has a sign up about good things to feed to ducks. Bread is not recommended but frozen peas are. I would have loved to have thrown them a few handfuls of peas before they went on their way.

I read you should slice grapes in half. I did that but ours wouldn’t touch them. I’ll try peas. Thanks!

Our back lawn is usually a swamp with snow melt this time of year. Now? It’s bone dry, not good.
