Our Mockingbird welcomes us back to Niles Pond – at eye levelA Merganser fly-byOn this dive, a Merganser comes up with a fishAnd gobbles it downAnother is just enjoying a nap on the calm pondA Mallard pair is oblivious to sleet starting to fallMom Mallard is sipping fresh water from ice-meltWhile Dad snoozesHe then waddles into the water for a dunkingPops up refreshed, sheathed in waterRemember the saying “…like water rolling off a duck’s back”?Drying his head with feathers, for lack of a towelBack at our Nyjer seed feeder, the Golfinches celebrate their good fortuneThe second seating is for house sparrows, but the kitchen is running low
