Your post reminded me of one of my fondest memories of country living.

I was visiting a friend who lived on a farm. When I drove in the laneway, her father was heading to the bard. Following her father by a few feet was his dog. Following the dog was the gander. Behind the gander was the goose. Trailing the goose was the goslings. The cat was a few inches behind the last gosling.

Her father changed his mind and started heading back to the house. His entourage became a bit of a dervish in the confusion, but in a moment, order returned, and the same parade continued, but now it was going the opposite direction.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. A telephone solicitor called our house to persuade us to have our ducts cleaned. The Commander told him that our ducks keep themselves clean: they just splash around in the pond. And besides, they'd be hard to catch. We had people over for dinner, and even though we could only hear his half of the conversation, everyone was folded over laughing. The merriment continued long past the end of the call. I think of this whenever I see ducks.

P.P.S. In my area, we have mallards mostly, a few mergansers, and even fewer pintails. The sharp eyed can spot the occasional wood duck. Spring and fall bring transients such as buffleheads, scaups, and shovellers.

Bob...Welcome To The RANT & CHAT Board! I thought you had been here, but am glad you are here now.

Great Post! Thanks, you are a good storyteller, I was right there with you, it was a nice break from the big city living in which I exist.

I am fond of critters as well, the wife & I used to send a lot of time down at the park feeding the ducks and squirrels, and we are duck fans too.

We have about 14 squirrels and about 7 verities of birds here in our back yard. I live in a 4-plex that has two apt's on each side of a corner so we share a huge back yard, we all partake of feeding the squirrels and my wife and I are pretty much the bird feeders here. It's really great, we love it, we have a huge back yard and in the morning you see the birds & squirrels & birds in the trees just waiting for us, the squirrels come right in the apt when the door is left open, it's quite therapeutic for us as well, we are big time pet lovers but are not aloud pets here, but the land lord knows and lets us have out back yard nature preserve.

Again, Thanks for the post and welcome aboard the RANT & CHAT board.
