Description

Thank you for stopping for a closer look. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated. This Mallard couple set up thier nest on the riverbank just outside our house last year. They are back but due to yesterday's blizzard they are probably wondering why they didnt stay down south a bit longer. Stick asked how far north we are. If you look at the North Dakota/Canada border. We are about 6 hours strait north of that. This blizzard yesterday hit hard in ND as well as most of Manitoba where we are. Jim

LOL at kbroq's comment. Think we said something similar when the blast of snow hit. Those poor ducks will wonder if they lost their sense of direction. What a great capture Jim. Love and Hugs...
