Recently we have had RAIN and a ton of it. Our yard has always held a lot of water being at the bottom of the hill. We have a variety of beautiful birds but for the first time a couple of mallard ducks 🦆 have joined the party. We’ve enjoyed watching them. Thanks for your reflections. They are well written.

Thank you! I gratefully receive this! Mallard ducks are beautiful aren’t they?! Such emerald green heads! How lovely! ☺️

Amazing to watch how the drake watches over his less colorful “wife” while she eats or pads around our boggy yard.

Yes, there is so much to learn from the birds. Their gentleness and beauty. Watching the hummingbirds this morning and how they are aware of our presence and have learned to feel safe and know our voices. Also realizing they depend on us to feed them and communicate to us when they are hungry. I have learned their sounds and wishes. Thank you.

This was so incredibly sweet! A story about generosity beautifully told through an adorable account between two birds. What powerful lessons nature can teach us when we pause and observe. Thank for sharing this. This made me smile, and warmed my heart.
