He’s the darkest one in the middle.  I have been trying to get a good shot of Sonny, but he’s either too fast or pulling up the rear. When I “adopted” him (at least I think it’s a him) I thought he was a Mallard. Now I’m not so sure. He may be a Rouen. Or it could be a Mallard hen. The funny thing about ducks is sometimes you can’t tell some things until they get feathers, start quacking, or lay an egg. Did you know that females usually quack first? And males get a curly “up do” on the tail feathers?

Then the DOG has to get in the middle of things and start following them!!  It’s kinda like she takes them for a walk because they do this all around the yard. 

And then they run toward me saying “MOM, she’s following us!!!  Make her stop!!”  

Man, when I start hearing ducks whine it tells me I better go find some human interaction!
