They look lovely, and content.

Aye, and peaceful to view.

Best news yet, Mary Anne.

We have a pair of ducks that wander up and down the driveway periodically. All the water in the ditch must have confused them!

Maybe so, BL. Poor things.

This is pretty much what it looked like outside my window today, too.

I needed to identify what I was seeing - also thinking Bufflehead but mine was in fact a male Hooded merganser. I think yours might be also. Buffleheads have white bodies. The male Hooded merganser has a tan body.

In any event.. they're lovely birds in a very peaceful setting.

Hilary, thanks. I believe you are right and I am wrong.

Doing what ducks do best: paddling.
