Hi All This time of year I spread corn on the ground for the various birds. Quite a few small birds come for a snack but bigger birds also. There are 17 ducks - normal count. 12 Mallards, 4 blacks, and an unmated black-mallard cross. A good looking drake but none of the hens seem interested. They come twice a day - sit around til everyone is there. At some sort of a signal they all run to the feed, and all eat at once. A hugh scabble follows - drakes and hens chasing and pecking at each other. As they get filled they go sit in an open area one at a time. After the last one is full they all jump up and of somewhere. Amazing how organized it all is. There are a few crows also and when they are there the pheasants will come out and eat. Not many pheasants - only 2 males as far as I can see but they will never eat alone - only with the crows or ducks. They don't like the ducks fighting so they will only grab a bite when the ducks are there. There is also a dove with a white tail. must have stuck it in a batch of bleach. Spring is here so soon more birds will arrive. Enjoy the spring Paul ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?
