As you may recall my heart "James Vander-Beak 🦆"? Well him&his glorious "hair" were fabulously adorable today! #MallardMonday #ducks #birds #waterfowl #Audubon #lightsoutformigratorybirds #BirdsOfTheWorld

The lil ppl had a good day today bc it was 36 hot degrees outside! Tomorrow is going to go bk in the single digits...so that will not be good for them. Time to start cking for frostbite 🥶 🦆💙❣️ #MallardMonday #ducks #birds #waterfowl #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon #Nature #wildlife

Another throw back of this past August 2025& these lil miracles! There is nothing cuter than duckings! Just watching them walk… or breath… ever single thing they do is adorable! #MallardMonday #ducks #waterfowl #birds #nature #LightsOutForMigratoryBirds

Looking bk at August 2025 and the last hatched miracles! There is nothing better than a baby person (who is in the waterfowl family) flapping their itty bitty wings! The best part of spring &summer to me! #ducks #MallardMonday #ducklings #nature #waterfowl #BirdsOfTheWorld

Not only are the green winged teal tiny gentlemen back,but we also have a new lady! A female American Widgeon! We had one come winter w/us3yrs in a row&last yr she didn’t return:( This lady doesn’t know us yet. It’s very obvious when they’re new:) #MallardMonday #ducks #Birds #BirdsOfTheWorld #lakes

The last born of this past season gets her first brain freeze! When ducks are eating in the snow and they keep shaking their heads it's them experiencing brain freeze. I feel bad bc that feels terrible and they have no idea why it keeps happening. #MallardMonday #Audubon #ducks #birds #waterfowl

My lil Finley has a snowy bill...he's so so tiny&I'm so so glad he's back! #greenwingedteal #ducks #waterfowl #MallardMonday #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon #LightsOutForMigratoryBirds #birds

My green winged teal TINY gentlemen are back for the winter w/ my mallard friends in PA! Yes, it's backwards...I read its bc of deforestation. That is why so many American Robins I'm sure are here in the winter too. #greenwingedteal #MallardMonday #Birds #Lightsoutformigratorybirds #Audubon #ducks

I never know where they going to feel comfortable when it starts to get cold. When it's windy I try to not have them come up on the embankment. They were ready today however! It's like the March of the penguins but with ducks lol. #MallardMonday #ducks #birds #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon #waterfowl

It's always a chaotic day when the geese visit. It was like they heard me thinking last night bc I said to myself "the geese haven't been visiting"...low and behold... #Canadiangeese #ducks #MallardMonday #waterfowl #birds #lightsoutformigratorybirds #BirdsOfTheWorld

My husband using his “baby voice” bc he is super excited our green winged teal (we had 3 that wintered with our mallard friends last winter) are coming bk! We aren’t sure yet who this is lol! #ducks #greenwingedteal #waterfowl #birds #Nature

American Robin in pa end of Nov. This is happening more and more all over pa. #birds #Americanrobin #lightsoutformigratorybirds #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon

It's a #starling Saturday in #Pennsylvania! I'm in Indiana pa for work and they really love the one plaza. I never even see them benefit from being here (meaning nobody is feeding them) but they stay. #birds #nature #BirdsOfTheWorld #Audubon

Thanksgiving w/my mallard&friends 🦆!
Trying to get the domestic Rouen ducks some good premium seed before I go and everyone else always pushes their way in there. They never used to back down from others. Now they all the sudden don't like to be crowded. #MallardMonday #ducks #BirdsOfTheWorld #Birds

2 domestic Rouen ducks getting some premium seed before its gone...they are amazingly huge! Whoever gave these gentlemen up...well that is a real head scratcher?!?
