Happy Rolph's Bird Sanctuary

Ducks On Ice

Sometimes winter seems to really drag on, and you can feel stuck inside, even feel cabin fever for not getting out of the house.

But it's hard to contain your smile when your faced with quacking laughter of hundreds of ducks and geese that waddle about and slip and slide on their ice pond while they tackle each other for some bread.

Drew and I armed ourselves with two loaves of bread ( whole wheat- cause were suckers) and took off to this private park. When we arrived we were bullied by 4 farm geese that alarmed to all the other birds we arrived with their very loud honks. I got goosed by a goose, and they pulled at Drews jeans. We found ourselves standing on a park bench until they gave up and went away. And slowly all the ducks from the pond came out and surrounded us asking us as nice as they could for some of our tasty whole wheat treats.

There was even one very cautious squirrel who decided to approach us, but found himself quickly surrounded and jumped up a tree. We made sure he got more than his fair share for his bravery.

After we ran out of our bread we went walking toward the lake and found a garden of some very" interesting" natural ice formations ( seen below) and I think I took more pictures than I needed to.

Enjoy!
