Remembering Fred

Huh?, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

The two ducks (aptly named Fred & Ethel) who took up residence in our front yard have finally left. They spent the better part of six weeks living in the yard, but recently vanished as abruptly as they arrived.

Featured today is a capture I made of Fred as he was enjoying some seed left out by a neighbor. Fred was (is?) very protective of Ethel and was checking out a nearby child in this photo.
