We live in the country. Our small farm is backed by some wetland and we have a nice pond on our farm as well. We see a lot of wildlife. We have a lot of bird action on a daily basis and we have, among other things, wood ducks. Now wood ducks are a funny kind of a duck. They look like ducks. And yes, they quack like ducks but they have a few quirks. Like... have you ever seen a duck perching on a wire???? I took this picture because I was convinced my husband would never believe me. I noticed it while I was drinking my morning coffee, just minding my own business.
Those silly ducks kept landing on the wires all morning. They are not very graceful and struggle with balancing. We were really worried that one of them
would fall down the chimney again. Yep. Almost two years ago to the day. Something about those wood ducks. Apparently they have sharp claws which allow them to perch on branches and so on. Who knew?
Here is another shot. Can you see the two of them? Mr. and Mrs. One of them is up near the top of the pole.
Here is another bird on a wire picture. It's a trend. Linking up with Cindy for
Random Thursday.
