I live at the AFRH-Washington (Old Soldier's Home) and keep an RV down by our fishing ponds (we have more than 300 acres in DC!). We have some resident mallards which come to me for show call. I feed them cracked corn.

They have been visiting daily since they were tiny, and have become quite accustomed to eating from my hand. Mom (the one on right in top pic) keeps watch while her brood gorges. These greedy little critters come up to three times a day... and love their cracked corn.

We also have lots of Canadian geese, but they are just sh*t factories around our golf course! The geese can't fly right now and the ponds are fenced. The ducks "duck" under the gate and come eat. The geese just stand inside looking greener all the time ;>)

I have other "friends" visiting regularly, too! He's fasting on Cheerios...
