Backyard Pond Mallard

Post by Jake Langeslag »

Today I had a new visitor to my backyard pond! My pond is located in the middle of Faribault, MN. The yard is pretty heavily wooded as well. I was very surprised to see this hen mallard sitting in the pond. She must be semi - tame for she allowed us to walk right up close to take a few pictures. I even threw some corn in the pond, which she ate. She came to the pond in the morning and then left for a few hours and came back. She was last seen walking down 3rd Ave, probably searching for a nesting location. This is one thing I enjoy about having a backyard waterfall and pond - you never know what will show up! :D
