Ian's new favorite thing to do is feeding ducks. We really started something in Clovis! Luckily, we have a nice little pond not far from our house where there are loads of ducks and a few geese. In fact, this little pond is also home to many red-eared sliders, an egret or two and a heron. We're not fond of the heron, he preys on baby ducks and although I know it's the cycle of life, I would much rather see him eat fish than baby ducks! Today we noticed the egret was close to the pier, stalking fish. I had Ian sit down and be still (which isn't easy mind you). It took about 15 minutes but the egret finally struck and pulled out a fish. Ian was floored! He thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now he's a big fan of egrets!
