was addressed. Well, today's dilemma concerns a pair of Mallard ducks who have taken a liking to Friend/Photographer PV's pool. Ahhh, the serenity of it all. We concluded together that impending chlorine treatments would not serve reproducing ducks well; best thing to do, after a few Kodaks, was to discourage their presence. So, PV sent Ferocious Tara out to chase them, in a gentle sort of a way. They became fast friends. Now, this takes my interest in bird-watching to a whole new dimension... at the same time bringing me back to my childhood on Unqua Lake, Massapequa, NY. Thanks, PV. xo
UPDATE from SoCal... Not to worry, Friends; the Mallards took off in tandem flight to find safer quarters.
