Duck Feeding

Since Marek was a little baby we've been taking walks to our community pond to feed the local ducks. It's such a wonderfully convenient type of thrifty entertainment. Most of the ducks at our pond are those yucky huge Muscovy ducks. I like to refer to them as Turkey ducks, because of that weird flesh they have all over their faces. We also have some white Peking, which are my personal favorite because of a childhood pet we had. And a few wood ducks, and sand cranes. Almost all of the ducks come up to receive treats from us, usually running towards us at high waddling speeds. And more than half will eat right from your hand.. These ducks are all very spoiled by all the neighborhood kids, and especially Marek's weekly visits.
