Gratouitis Duck Posting

I hadn't seen the boys in a couple days. But today I heard the distinct quaking and looked out.

Chuck and Larry were there. No Steve though.



Chuck is the one eating and Larry is the one on look out.

It has been interesting observing these two and comparing them to the male/female pairings I've watched. Like with M/F pairs, they usually take turns eating. One eats and the other looks out and guards, then the switch. I've also seen them preen each other.

I don't know if it is common for males to make pair bonds when there are not any females available or not, but I have really enjoyed hosting these two this summer.

I love reading these little updates. It's interesting to see how they interact, too. I'd love to have a bird feeder for things like this. It's intriguing.
