This is my favorite Mallard couple. They have been coming here for the 8 yrs I have lived in this house. They come back to mate and have little ones nearby and they are used to me feeding them a little bread now and then so return several times a day now eating fallen seeds from the bird feeder. They are so sweet and trusting that when I walk my Chi, Lilly, they know I won't let her near them, they ignore her-ha! And I just love the little sounds they make when they are eating, little "thank you" chortles.
The Canadian Goose couple are being chased ashore by this Male Mute Swan who is very territorial. He puffs way up with his beautiful wings and then plows the water creating a wake as he lets them know who is boss!
Thank you for coming to my wild back yard! Please leave a comment, I treasure them!
My wild heart to yours...

I always love seeing all of your birds. How fun to have the mallad couple return each year!!
Very nice post and love the photos. How strange that they always know where to go. I guess they know where you are at there is a lot of food and a safe haven. Very nice. Have a great rest of the week Kerrie.:)
Hi Kerrie, I would love to look out and see your wildlife. They are so much fun to watch. We used to have wildlife until they built all of the houses around us. Your little one in the previous post is such a sweetie. You know you are suppose to spoil them. Right. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
Love all the birds. How wonderful for you to enjoy them in hour own back yard.
