Waiting for Friends

Poor, dear Methuselah....

paddles around on the pond

all by himself....

day after day.

He is entertained only by a pair of decoy ducks
and a random stranger who happens to visit...
ducks or herons.

In May, however, 12 new Cayuga ducklings are coming
When fully mature, they will look like this....

green ducks....although they look black outdoors.

We are also hoping to adopt this beautiful teenage swan
and his mate.

His name is Meadow.
You can read about him HERE.
For now he is living in suburbia...
recovering from a snapping turtle injury.
His owners are looking for a suitable pond.
They are also looking for a suitable girlfriend.

Meanwhile, we are keeping our fingers crossed.

We are hoping our pond will be just what they are looking for!
