Duck Update

I parked in the dorm lot this morning, which means I walk past the nesting area. The duck is back! Looks like she’s settled in for the long haul. According to the FAQ at www.liveducks.com, the eggs should hatch in about a month… So by the end of June there should be ducklings.

I’ll keep you all posted…

Two more…

Five to go for the show. Extended entry again…

It’s Worst Science and Worst Picture.

Random thinking

If Andy Serkis took up downhill skiing, would he compete in a Gollum Slalom?

This is Middle Island Point, pointing at… well… Middle Island I suppose. I really ought to work on my knowledge of place names… Anyway, this is one of the views from the top of Sugarloaf.

What the Duck?

The duck is back again. I don’t know if it had parked itself there sometime during the day, or if I’d just missed it on the way in yesterday morning, but yesterday afternoon on my way out to the car it was there. I think I might have just missed it. The feathers blend in with the woodchips and it was sufficiently rainy that I didn’t want to make a careful search.

If this keeps up, I may create a new category just for the duck.

Nice day, for a duck.

Rainy, wet, cold and pretty miserable out there this morning. And the duck update is that there is no duck. I think it realized that nesting in a high traffic area was a bad idea…
