ellen fl OSF Platinum Member Registered: 05/09/03 Posts: 14370 Loc: no. palm beach, fl	some new guys and a couple of old ones. Description: 2 new pekins were dropped off a few weeks ago. i'm glad they have each other for support. Description: oddly, this mallard hybrid(?) was dropped off around the same time as the pekins and they kinda hang around together. they all will eat from my hands so they are used to having peeps around. Description: this poor little guy was dropped off alone and appears a little panicked. i am trying to gain his trust. he will come close. i love his eyes. Description: and finally, here are henry and pouf daddy. henry's colors have changed from gray and white to tan and white. i think he's very handsome in his new colors. _________________________ "Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile."

ellen fl OSF Platinum Member Registered: 05/09/03 Posts: 14370 Loc: no. palm beach, fl	posey, i finally saw one of the iguanas yesterday. i will work on getting some more pics of them. the town has drastically cut back the vegetation around the pond so they have fewer places to hide now. bad for them, good for me. ellen _________________________ "Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile."

jojo in minnesota Good grief! Registered: 02/13/04 Posts: 10026 Loc: Minnesota	Ellen - it looks like the scared little guy has blue feet? I love his colorings - is that normal or is he some kind of mutant, throwback or whatever they are called in the duck world? Don't know what he is. And - is it the same Poof Daddy do you think? He's sure a trip. I've missed seeing the ducks. I suppose the babies have been torn asunder, though, which always makes me sad.

Brant OSF Platinum Member Registered: 08/15/05 Posts: 5085 Loc: Pleasantville	the club footed grackle hen is a great pic the colors on the young iguana are so vibrant, i think a simple teriyaki marinade and some HOT coals would do him justice :>) _________________________ "Not keeping the hoi polloi mollified is like being bitten to death by a budgie."
