Birds in pairs

Bill in Texas wrote in post #19503100
Ed, unfortunately these birds are now two hours away because we moved closer to the Texas coast. I took so many last year, I'm not sure I could ever post them all. They have started up again this year but I'm not sure I will be able to find the time to get over there.

Too bad. They have cool behaviors. At least you got to take so many last year. This is my first year seeing breeding pairs of these.

May be some marital issues. Out on the town every night with the drakes? Never fixes the broken straw in the nest? Too much time chatting up that Pintail?

Oh boy, RDWP...it looks like trouble in paradise. I take it, they aren't speaking to each other.

LD, or Mike
Often mistaken, but never in doubt.
