I know, the picture isn't great but it was all I could get before they flew away. This is the first time we have seen ducks in our pond. Apparently these are Hooded Mergansers. Two males and a female to be exact. Mr. Man and I had just talked about putting a wood duck house on the pond a couple days ago. Nice to know that ducks find our pond inviting! Here's a picture from the website above that shows what these cuties look like up close! Fancy aren't they?
Now onto domestic life. Check out the cats - this is the wood basket next to the wood stove that the cats have claimed as their warm, happy place. Yes, that's all three cats squeezed into the basket.

ReplyDeleteThey look so cozy. I think I could be tempted to curl up with them :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame your cats are so tense.
ReplyDeleteWow, the ducks are beautiful!!! How cool!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ducks! I've never seen that kind before. I love how your cats enjoy cuddling with each other. Mine keep a distance between them, but do share the couch or loveseat while napping. Yours look so cozy and warm there by the woodstove.
