Well, the Hideaway Pond wild bird watch goes on. Two mallards greeted us this morning and hit the avian highway north in early afternoon. A solitary male wood duck has been hanging morosely around the pond and adjacent woods for the last few days. Prospective fatherhood nerves or a lost lover? Your guess is as good as mine.
The little guys are very secretive tree dwellers. Either way, she could be hidden in a hole in a nearby pine. If he’s her mate, she will call him to the nest. Wood ducks have a higher pitch voice as opposed to the quack of most ducks. Have a listen. Sorry, it takes a couple of minutes to download.

The local buck deer showed up with his harem of three does in late afternoon. They grazed near the ledge, disappeared into the woods and reappeared on the opposite side of the pond a half hour later. Not enough time, I would think, for any hanky panky to have taken place. But then what do I know about cervidean sex life. Or care, really.
Before long, the bears will start showing up. A year ago today a bear ripped off our bird feeder and reduced it to total bruin ruin. Shari has been taking it down at night for the last two weeks.
A beautiful sunset has announced the end of the day and brought with it two more wood ducks. As darkness has fallen, four more have splashed down. A noisy wet finale to a fine early spring evening.
