Monday, March 28, 2022 The Mallard Love Triangle and Other News

It’s official. The mallard lady couldn’t make up her mind and now has two swains following her around.

Those iridescent green heads must really hold a lot of allure. And just when the mallard trio thought they had the pond all to themselves, a couple of muscle-bound geese showed up and calmly took over the waters.

The drama at the pond just never ends!

Here in southern Minnesota, we’ve all seen robins by now and it’s popularly thought that they are the ultimate sign that spring has arrived. But in our back yard, the sure sign that warmer weathers are on the way is the reinstatement of the compost heap.

Of course, that’s not as lovely as a robin, but the photo I took of a perfectly nice robin turned out to be out of focus in a way that might give you a headache. Will a cardinal do instead?

The Monday Musings are over.

I’ll probably throw this one in the compost heap in the morning to keep the egg shells company.
