Ducking from View

Ducks roam the neighborhood with impunity, stopping traffic, fouling decks, and quacking loudly when approached. Just last month we had to help a new family escape from our backyard.

A pair stopped by this week, and I happened to be holding week-old (mold-free) bread intended for the compost bin. Impulsively I tossed them a couple of slices.

They were back in the same spot the next day. I stayed inside. Psst! Are they gone yet?
