The Bird Weekly photo challenge this week invites us to share the feathered friends that visit or live in our home space. We have a lot of birds on the campus of our senior community, but I am only including those who actually come into our yard – ducks, geese, and robins!

Although this particular Canada goose was not in our yard at the time I took this photo (I just really like this photo), we do often get visits from flocks of these guys who think they own the place!

Here are three photos I took in sequence of several ducks who hang out together – in the pond, taking a nap on shore, or taking walks in people’s yards! Over the summer, these ducks proliferated, and now that their young have grown, large groups of ducks are in abundance!
Very nice selection of birds. The robins are here for a few weeks during spring migration. Great Mallards…talk about owning the place. 😂
And they are promiscuous too! Just a couple days ago I saw a couple mating – in late October?!!
Wow! It’s been an odd year so I’m not surprised by much anymore. 😂
