Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Expect

…when one ‘expects’ to be fed

On my walk today, the ducks and geese were foraging for food along the shoreline. Normally when I get closer the ducks, in particular, waddle to the water and swim away. Today, however, it was bitterly cold and as I moved in closer so did the ducks. Clearly they were ‘expecting’ me to feed them. I know that bread is bad for ducks so I never throw them crusts of day old bread.

Weird Winter Ducks

…winter has officially been dubbed as Weird Duck Season

Winter has officially become the season of the duck, thanks in part to Rosemary Mosco’s comic about weird winter ducks! Each winter, the Great Lakes is inundated with a great variety of waterfowl (over 30 species!) as ducks, geese and swans use our region as their winter getaway.

Last weekend, when my daughter and daughter-in-law came to visit we went for a walk down to the waterfront and discovered hundreds of ducks close to the water’s edge. My daughter quickly pointed out that a large group of them were Long-tailed ducks that have migrated from the Arctic and have settled onto Lake Ontario for the winter. It was fun watching them that day. The waves were high but these ducks seemed to relish the rough conditions. They dove into the waves and almost seemed to being surfing.

Unfortunately I only had my iPhone with me and I couldn’t get any close-ups of the Long-tailed ducks so I found this video on YouTube to share with you.
