Heh, must make you laugh to find someone so amazed at finding ducks waddling around. I get quite excited by wildlife. I’m a city girl, through and through.
Lots of ducks where I live too. I hope that pair isn’t trying to find a place to lay eggs. And what in the hell are they doing there, they took a mega wrong turn.
They were the cutest!
I live about 5 blocks from the backwater of the Mississippi with a nice park across the street from me. Ducks...among other things...are a common site for me.
I’m kind of a city boy at heart, too. I was born in the Chicago suburbs, part of that great sprawl of pavement that stretches at least 50 miles in any direction.
I’ve now been in Wisconsin longer than I was in Chicago. Can I still say I’m “from Chicago” or am I now “from Wisconsin?”
I guess you’d say you were originally from Chicago, but was successfully grafted into Wisconsin.
All these people have ducks wandering around as a common occurance. I feel kinda foolish now being all “Ooooh look DUCKS!!!” 
Hey, don’t feel bad about it. Don’t you laugh at yokels when they say “Ooh, look! A five-story building!”
My favorite out-of-towner moment was the time I saw a guy posing his family for a photo… in front of a marsh. It was a brackish little mud puddle about the size of my house and these people needed a family photo just to prove it to their friends at home.
Heehee, ooooh a 5-story building! Good perspective, thanks.
Awww. I like ducks. We have a duck pond at my college and every single time I drive past, one of those ducks decides to do a low flyover and I almost cream it with my car. I haven’t hit one yet, thankfully.
You finding the ducks on the road reminds me of Key West. They have these roaming chickens all over the island. You see them everywhere.
Do you have to tilt your head back to see the top of 5 story buildings?
To see the tops of these fancy buildings you need to go inside this little box called an “elevator”. This box takes you up through all the floors so you don’t have to use the stairs. It “elevates” you, see? When you get to the roof, you’re at the top! You can almost touch the clouds when you’re on that fifth level…
we have a lake/river across the street from us. I love the ducks but all the noise at night can be a bit of a pain...but then there’s loons and bullfrogs out there too...noisey little beasts.
you city folks are so cute...ducks...ha.
(but i am happy you got a picture of them… i do so love pictures)
Miss Ann, I guess nature noisees are nice in theory, but living with it is another thing.
Weese, do you all your books have pictures too? 
Our next door neighbor here in Northern Virginia suburbia has two ducks that have made their home in her pool. Not that extraordinary, except for the fact that the pool is covered so the ducks really only have the eight inches or so of water that has puddled on the pool cover.
That’s so cute! And funny that they’d make themselves at home on 8 inches of water. Heh. I wouldn’t mind having a couple of ducks play house in my yard. 
books?
Woo! First comment! I get a prize or something, right?
In the wild, ducks eat things like insects, small fish, water plants and some types of dry grasses. There are 22,000 lakes in Wisconsin. Ducks aren’t so uncommon here.
