In spring, I’m often surprised to see ducks in our neighbourhood... They wander around, feeding... and they even build nests!
I find this puzzling, as no rivers run here. At most, spring briefly brings water to neighborhood ditches. But this doesn’t last long.
A larger pond formed by a giant pile of melting snow next to the nearby college parking lot is gone by May or June.
There is so much water elsewhere...! Why come here?!
I don’t know! But here they are again, snacking in my flower bed. And I’m happy to see them!
Are they simply returning to the neighborhood where they were born?! If so, welcome home!
