Chuck goes with Sally. They’re both mallards.
“The duckies like us because we just gave them food up close.”
Ess checks on the stone ducks (formerly “tone ducks”) every year.
This is Sally. Sally is a mallard duck. Ess asked for Sally for Christmas. We love Sally.
Ever since seeing (and maybe slightly before this) hours-old Canadian geese goslings on a walk, Ess has associated walking with bird watching. She calls all birds “ducks” which we’re working on, but in the meantime, there’s no surer way to settle her down than to talk about a walk in her near future, and seeing ducks. When we’re walking out to the pond, there’s a certain point, about a quarter mile away, that Ess gets really excited anticipating ducks. The other day she goes DUCKS! YAHHHH-DUCKS while sticking her little fists straight out from herself in rigid-body excitement. On the way home, we always make sure to stop and see a stone lawn-decoration duck family Ess calls the tone ducks.
These adorable little guys had just heard an interesting sound and ran over to see what it was.
