Feeding mallard ducks in Mahone Bay
A friend has been feeding ducks in his backyard in the town of Mahone Bay.
Mystery tracks on the ocean ice
I saw these on the ice the other day. What do you think it is? It looks like 4 dog paws, then another set of 4 paws, then something dragged for a distance, repeat. Leave comments below.
And these? Looks like ducks to me; I can imagine the waddle, and there are lots of ducks right here when the water is liquid.

Ducks eating on marsh at high tide
I wonder what the ducks are finding to eat in the flooded marsh? At high tide, a dozen of them will be gathered around one spot, head and neck down in the ooze. Is it some small semi terrestrial creature that gets flooded out when the tide is so high? Does anyone know?
Ducks
On my walk this morning, I saw no fewer than three species of duck in the little inlet taking shelter from the gale force southeasterlies: the American Black Ducks that breed prolifically around here, Mallards, and a pair of cute little Buffleheads.
