Baby Ducklings!



Is it Spring?
These new baby ducks,
half Rouen, half Mallard
hatched at the last full Moon
from pretty soft blue eggs.
They are fast!

Geese eaten by wildcats

Sorry for the long delay in writing.
We have a big cat- as in wild cat-
a melanistic Floida panther, or cougar,
or something- about 70 lbs..
that has slowly killed all but one of our
white ebden geese(Pegasus).
The two African geese, Rex and Zulu are also left.
It has been heartbreaking to hear their screams as
they are carried off in the night.
Then see their half eaten bodies lying in the brush,
surrounded by their soft lovely feathers.
I hope that there is such as thing as
Goose heaven.
