"Our" resident wood ducks now have a new location for their assisted living home in our cove. We've had a duck box on a pole standing in the water, but it's been pushed sideways by ice and hasn't really been upright for a number of years now.
After much planning, Dale hatched a great plan to suspend the duck box over the cove, making sure to thread PVC pipe onto the wire to stop predators (squirrels, raccoons) reaching the box to eat their eggs. It has turned out beautifully - I sure hope the wood ducks approve and grace us with their presence very soon.
This is the remains of their nest output from last year
I'm always intrigued at how the shells look like deflated balloons
