This pair of mallards was very cute together, walking around and slurping from puddles.

Ducks making an enthusiastic run for breakfast! #scotland #Smallholding #ducksofmastodon
When a duck is in a hurry, don't try to slow him down.
(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)
Incoming duck... I know this photo is a bit blurry and dark, but I like it anyway. Maybe it's the action and an angle on the subject that varies from my habitual.
How to annoy ducks in one easy step:
1. Take a walk on a trail that goes past a pond.
They were almost perfectly quiet as we approached. Once the humans were noticed, however, we were greeted with a series of annoyed quacks as the flock temporarily moved to the water.
(They moved back to their original area as soon as we walked far enough past them, though).
@compost. Our compost pile got attention this week. The mostly composted 2024 materials were shuffled to the left bay. The material looks good. Unfortunately the earthworm count was in the single digits. The fresh 2024 stems, vines, and such are going in the right bay. The lopper is leaning on the fence for chopping. The runner ducks check the pile a dozen times a day to help. We are fortunate. #compost, #compostodon, #gardening, #minnesota, #ducksofmastodon.
@NorcalGma2. Duck parades are tough to beat. They are parading at duck speed, not Summer speed. #ducksofmastodon.
@RiversideBryan This is adorable. #DucksOfMastodon would love it, too. What sweet little creatures.

A Mallard. May 2021.
Enjoying a nice relaxing morning watching the ducks play in the pond.

@Iva852. A photograph is worth a thousand words. We are talking about garden mulch. We use wheat straw after it has been duck bedding. And comfrey and grass clippings a few times a season. And leaves. We only have enough straw volume because of the runner ducks. Thank you for the garden help ducks. Get the cutworms please. #nodig, #ducksofmastodon, #growyourown, #compost, #minnesota
I can’t argue with what these are called. #ducksofmastodon #ducks
The ducks are back! Haven't seen them since last year. They like my cactus garden.
