Spring? Maybe?

Okay Mother Nature, I get it. Jokes on me. Just when I get my hopes up that spring is around the corner you prove other wise. I "love" the approximate 10 inches of snow in late March. Thanks. 

In other random news this week, we had a pair of mallard ducks come in for rehab. After an exam and a bath, we couldn't find anything wrong with them. We released them right away but they certainly entertained us with lots of quacking and even some unwelcomed advances by the male.

duckling

Yesterday, an orphaned mallard duckling came in. It was a teeny little bugger but healthy and transferred to a different facility the same afternoon.
