Hurrah...the cam is working again!

It was a beautiful, sunny day today, but it never got warmer than the mid 20s...I sweep all the leaves off to the side of the driveway last night, and will get them into the trash barrel tomorrow. And rake the one spot in the back yard that is annoying me.

Upwards of 40 ducks this evening, AND the lady duck with the bad leg was here. I got a bunch of corn within reach to her and then spread more in all directions away from her to get the others spread out.. Worked pretty well.

Glad you had a good day, even if it was slow. Hopefully the dad will be back without the kid.

BRRRRRRRRRRRR! Too cold! No wonder there’s ice on the lake surface. It sure was nice to see the cam up and running again but it’s worked before for a day or two and conked out again. It’s still a little hitchy so the problem isn’t completely resolved yet.

Glad to hear you were able to get some of the leaves raked up. I hope the leaves in that spot in your yard are dry enough to deal with.

I have a feeling your duck population is going to grow quickly now that it’s so cold. LOL They know where to go to get good meals to keep them going. And YAY that the lady duck showed up again! She’s still ok. Glad to hear your feeding arrangement worked out for her.

It’s a pretty safe bet the dad will be back, though it won’t be until next year. He was pumped. He went to school at the university at Sewanee and comes back to visit from St. Louis at least once a year. It would be nice if his son can get over his fear of the mannequins because he really did like everything else in there, especially all the vehicles.
