some new guys and a couple of old ones.



OSDSC02878.jpg

Description: 2 new pekins were dropped off a few weeks ago. i'm glad they have each other for support.

OSDSC02834.jpg

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.

OSDSC02870.jpg

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.

OSDSC02895.jpg

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.

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. cool

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. Indeed, Rich - lord love a duck. BGIL

I love ducks. And iguanas. Both are wonderful with a mango glaze.

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 :>)
