did the ducklings not survive this year?

[Larimar]

at the park?

Last I saw of them was on the 8th-then I think we had a bit of a storm here? Was that around that time?
After that day I've been numerous times without seeing them around again. Last year I took pics of them growing up..this year nothin..anyone see em? or know?

[bluekrissyspikes]

i saw 3 yesterday.

[Larimar]

oh good, better than nothin.
They started at 5 I think I saw in the spring.

[Stingray]

They're around, each year, they may change locations, but they are around, I've also seen some at the locks

[Larimar]

do they change locations after being hatched tho? I saw five and then after nothing. I was worried the wind storm got to them.

[Larimar]

...or the reaaal 'mature' man I saw the other day kicking the geese...-I say that with the lil sarcasm I can muster lol.

[bluekrissyspikes]

hubby just came in he said said there are about 10 of them down by the boardwalk right now. i wonder why people kick the ducks? i tried to catch one once but i figured out real quick that was a dum idea..lol

[Larimar]

i duno, lol@ catching one.

I fed a goose once and that was a bad idea b.c he wouldn't stop following me! Stretching his neck out at my pockets...they are kinda intimidating b.c of their size lol.

My wife and I once walked past a nest of Canada Geese accidently down by the locks, scared the crap out of us when the parents started honking with their wings spread and chasing us..I laugh now...

I walked over to my moms yesterday, and I saw 2. Male and Female. They were just starin at me and I was like ... 2 feet away. I was shocked they didnt move when I walked by. So I decided to try my luck and get closer. I would like to say that I have officially pet a duck [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] They didnt move at all!!

[Larimar]

coool

[tippikitty]

I have a bunch of geese out at camp you can have. Nothing but a nuisance. They [censored] all over the yards and were not talking little [censored], you'd think it come from a big dog.

Use to like them, but now we are over run by them.

[Larimar]

eww lol.

Yeah, you have those too, lol. I go there quite often to feed the geese and ducks and only chase the seaguls away, don't like feeding, them, lol

[yoda]

sometimes the damn seagulls eat the baby ducks!

[Craig Huckerby]

ewww!

[Larimar]

I've heard of that Yoda, it is very sad!
I had a robins nest here in my yard and the babies were eventually eaten by crows. I was extremely sad.

[*Angel*]

I was at the park today and there is till NO baby ducks in the pond...still looks like all the males ducks are all out but hardly any females...

I do tho see one batch of geese babies that were fairly big but thats it

[img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] Must have been a bad year for them. Not that many duckling around..just a few here or there. Last year I remember there was a lot.
