We have a nesting goose at the end of our street, but I haven't come across any duck nests, although they are likely around.<BR/><BR/>Larry- Thanks. The pictures are blurry, but the size they are posted on Blogger hides some imperfections. I don't lug a tripod around and you really need one to take high zoom pictures.

Also, several duck couples appear in my neighborhood each year in May, walking from house to house looking for potential nesting spots. It's very funny to watch them check out the real estate, chattering away to each other.~~ Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702958375092589477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-89860581186659433962008-05-01T20:38:00.000-04:002008-05-01T20:38:00.000-04:00Jean, Beth and Jayne, I added a post script on the...Jean, Beth and Jayne, I added a post script on the post for you. Several ducks do nest in tree cavities.<BR/><BR/>SLD- If I saw a goat in a tree in Steckle Woods I would think someone slipped me some drugs in my tea. Your goats like low branches but even so they look out of place.<BR/><BR/>Jan- I hear them more often now that I recognize the call.
