First there were the wild parrots

Last year I was left in awe, with the sight of wild parrots that would captivate me each time they flew overhead. There have been no sightings for a few months.

What has appeared now on the grass in front of my apartment...two ducks. The one pictured and a brown one. They come in the late afternoon and what a lovely sight it is. The same two ducks each day...though today he brought a different duck with him, one that looks exactly like him.

I live in a major city in So. CA, with a population of over 200,000...so to have any semblance of wildlife in my own backyard is truly a blessing.
