Ducks Visit

Iris is the flower that blooms for Children's Festival Day (May 5) in Japan.   





For the last few years, a couple of  Mallard ducks visit my backyard around this time of the year. 
The male always stands as sentinel while the female garbles up the seeds like a vacuum cleaner.  I just found out that their favorite food is slugs.  I hope they will find enough in my backyard.


Female duck:  "Now I finished the sunflower seeds here.  I am off to the other end."



Male duck:  "Don't rush.  I am behind you."
