Herky is Growing!

Herky was nowhere to be found when I went down this afternoon to take his picture. He has the run of the yard. Teresa and I went out and looked and didn't see him. Hilary went out and walked round and out came Herky from under the bushes in the backyard. He is definently Hil's duck! He has lots of feathers now, but still has baby duck down on his head. Or is it HER head??? (Or maybe a teenage male) He has lost the yellow and black that lead to his name. He can't fly yet, but likes to try. They took him out to a pond, but he followed them back to the car. Their first attempt to turn him to the wild failed. They checked, but they don't take wild ducks at the Swan Lake petting zoo. Wild??? Maybe when his head feathers come in they will be bright. Wait and see, if he doesn't leave and go his own way first.

  1. It is worth going to the library or video store and renting Fly Away Home. We did on Monday night and it was great. It was with geese and not a duck.
