I don't know that much about ducks or geese
but
does this egg look just a little too big to belong to a so called
mr. and mrs. mallard
?
I'm beginning to think there's a little something something
going on
at
"my pond"
~~
I didn't think much about the goose whose been sitting on her nest
for what seems like forever now
with
a
mr. mallard at her side instead of a mr. goose
but
when I saw the size of this egg in another nesting area
my questioning eyebrow raised
just a little
~~
what do you think
?
am I crazy
or
are duck eggs this large
?
I sure don't know...but it does seem as if something quacky is happening in your part of the world!
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves....duck eggs are large - probably twice the size of a hen's egg...but goose eggs are QUITE a bit bigger and that sure is one BIG egg....
ReplyDeletehmmmmm....a little inter-species canoodling, perhaps? :) Time will tell....
looks like a goose egg to me also. LOL he's been quackolded?
ReplyDeleteDuck nests are usually so well hidden, I would have no idea what a duck egg looks like. But it sounds like you've got some very confused feathered friends there!
ReplyDeleteYou may very well be the first person to capture a picture of a Doose, or a Guck... How cool would that be? Imagine the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteOh my! Lots of drama on the pond! It looks really big to me too.
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea. What I love is that you even noticed it, though. so many people wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, guess somebody had some fun. Now you must follow this little love nest just to keep us informed here. We'll keep on track.
ReplyDeletethe duck egss i've seen arent anywhere near that size. but then everything seems to be in minature form in this lilliputian land :)
ReplyDeleteno egg-pertise here, sorry, I am good at puns and play on words though ! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday !
Sounds like somebody's got some "'splainin" to do! Keep us posted as to what is hatched! Wonder what will emerge? can't wait to see~
ReplyDeleteOh my, there's a soap opera going on there in your pond. We'll stay tuned, give us some previews when you can!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that they're all decoys...but I imagine you've seen them move. I'll be looking for an update on this post.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a clue but it's an interesting hypothesis!
ReplyDeletethat's definitely a duck...and i'd like to think another bird wouldn't let them near the nest.
ReplyDeleteyou are fortunate to see these things. and i am fortunate to share.
