Duck House

Every year Goldeneyes use this over-sized birdhouse in our front yard as a communal egg drop-off station. We've seen up to six birds on or in the birdhouse at the same time. A couple years ago we witnessed a dozen freshly hatched Goldeneye chicks drop to the ground and scramble for the water.



Good to see my newly renovated dock is being used.

    1. The water is up by about 18 inches from last fall. We only have 3 feet of beach sand left, a far cry from a couple years ago when we had over 30 feet.
