I see ducks doing this very often followed by rising up and flapping their wings. Very Nice.

Looks like a cold spin to me. Good for a warm day. Nice capture.

My dad has a pair of Mallard's( Daffy and Daisy) that stayed in his backyard the last 3 years during migration. Granted-he leaves bowls of water and corn on the back porch. Last year, they announced their arrival by pecking on the glass doors. "Charles Duck Diner" is a 4 star place.

Thanks Beth. We also have a pair of Mallards that return to our back yard year after year. I put out some cracked corn for them when they come waddling up from the creek. The male stands guard while the female eats her fill and then he finishes what is left (which sometimes isn't much). It's very special to see.
I wonder if it is common behavior for mallards to return like this?
Thanks for the story.
