Mallards by far are the most prevalent ducks we have on our lakes. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mallards, and I think they are beautiful, and I love seeing them. But they are “ordinary” to me, because I see them so often.



The ones who stand out the most to me are the “extraordinary”. We all need to stand out and shine for who we are. We need to be unique and true to ourselves. So, in a lake filled with Mallards, be a Ringneck,

or a Common Goldeneye,

or a Hooded Merganser,


or better yet, be bold and really let everyone know who you are, and be a Wood Duck.

But whoever you are, just always be yourself. Let your own natural beauty shine through everything you do.
Thanks for sharing the love. Have a great day. π

That’s what they are selling for in the grocery stores here too. At Costco, I got 5 dozen for $18.
