Speechless Sunday at Fishhawk Lake-Duck Darlings!
Friday morning in front of my lakefront home on Fishhawk Lake.
I went out to feed the ducks and caught these moments!
A first for me--and quite the surprise!
(Give it a bit, you think they're gone but they come back!)
This is completely unedited.
You too could experience this by purchasing a home on Fishhawk Lake!
(I'll supply the first box of birdseed--how's that?)
Gayle, so precious. I love they way they waddle. They do not care about the garbage truck either. That's bird seed they are eating?

Hannah Williams I couldn't WAIT to share it--thanks for enjoying my little visitors.
Andrea Swiedler really?? Wow, what kind of bear? Black, right? I have yet to see a bear but have taken many a photo of bear scat!
Gary Woltal never saw DAD, just mom and she was getting harrassed briefly by another female but stood her ground, then chased off another female soon after.
A~absolutely!!! And a big one, too.
Dick Greenberg recently, my next door neighbors were here for the weekend and thanked us for all of the birdwatching entertainment. That was earlier this year when I had suet out and all of the winter birds were clamoring for bits of it.
Joe Petrowsky it was truly a gift, you're right! Every day that I'm here it is. Thanks for thinking of Mom Nature that way--I do!
Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 we have black bears here in CT. And the population is on the rise! They are usually not aggressive towards humans. But they are impressive, even if they are the smallest North American bear! They also make a mess of things if they want something you have. Here is a photo I shot from a vehicle in March. This guy was crossing the road in front of us when we were all out on caravan. He/she stopped and gave us a photo op for quite a few minutes actually.

Debb Janes I knew it was a bit long, but the natural end came when she and her clan decided to leave...and I'm STILL learning which button to push for STOP not CLICK! I have no idea how to edit with my type of computer, since I don't have an Apple like yours. But, it DOES light up the lake with action.
You just made my Sunday. Thank you for sharing. Wouldn't it be nice if lttle humans followed like this

Sharon Lee I loved that "a feast for everybody"! Such a great phrase, thank you!
Kathleen Daniels yes, birdseed, I had NO IDEA that the "kids" would partake in what Mom likes so early on!
Andrea Swiedler oh my goodness. how lucky are YOU to capture a photo of a black bear...that is definitely on my list of Wannabes in my photo-ops!
I know, isn't that amazing??
Noah, they have my heart.
Liz Wallace you made MY day with that comment--this is exactly what kind of reaction I wanted--wonder, joy and a total sense of happiness! And yes, always, Nature teaches us.
Roger D. Mucci I had a hard time stopping even though I knew the video was going on too long--I didn't care--I was loving every minute of them gracing me with their company!
What a delightful tribe of ducks that is. I'm glad you captured it on video to share.
Cute, we had a pair of ducks at the golf course in early spring but they have not been seen since.
Kathy Streib I have to say that I felt a certain amount of regret when they decided to turn around and leave...but gosh, that's life huh? A natural time to stop the video.
Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 www.SpaceCoastHomesNow.com gotta say that I had a fan-friggin'-tastic Sunday! Welcomed a new owner and he surprised his two boys with the fact that he bought a Fishhawk lakefront home!
Myrl Jeffcoat they just showed up to make sure that they would get noticed! I felt totally blessed!
Ed Silva I have to say that I had a great couple who used to come religiously, and even brought their one "young'un' ", but they haven't been back recently...and it makes me sad).
Hi Gayle,
