They squawked in terror, and Gilligan, the domestic white duck who's larger than the other two, tried to spread his wings to cover Miss Penny, the small female.
We found Gilligan's white feathers all over the shore later.
Here the vulture tries again...
After a few minutes watching, we ran down to the shore, and my husband stood there to keep the vulture at bay. It finally gave up and flew away.
We can't help but wonder if it'll be back, though.
I imagine the ducks are wondering the same thing.

Interesting. I thought they only ate carrion. Nature fascinates, doesn't it. Even at it's most destructive.
ReplyDeleteVultures have to eat too....
I'm thinking the vulture must have been really hungry, and I feel bad for it, but I don't want it to eat my ducks! It was very interesting to watch the male duck protect the female.
