It appears there are no "fowl" weather stations and the internal clock while accurate can sometimes get ya home a tad too early in the season.

Great photos. Looks like you might need to use some exposure compensation to make the snow a bit more white, though. Still, makes me feel very sad for them!

Poor babies. Hope someone feeds them.

I can just hear it "You said it was time to leave the South and head home, now what the hell do we do"

**Kerrowdown** · 04-14-2013, 04:17 AM

"We just want to be together".

You have somehow managed to capture sadness in ducks, how the hell do you do that!

A great set of images.

Nice pics by the way. I hope the Mallards find somewhere warmer!

Thanks Susan - I'm afraid these are wild and will have to fend for themselves. Suppose to warm up this week, melt some more of the wetlands and then food should be a plenty.

These are some of the early arrivals - others must be still be down south. I wonder if they do rock paper scissors to see who comes back first ?

Thanks Jean - I do every year but not this much snow and not this late in the year. Soon.

I guess these ducks just didn't have their ducks in a row before leaving New Mexico.

That is fowl for sure!!! sorry, just could not resist..

vonBaloney · 04-14-2013, 02:10 PM

The ducks will be fine. Plenty of them around here don't bother to migrate and hang out on the ice all winter...
