My father-in-law has been staying in an apartment since he started his new job up here in Boise while they are trying to get their house ready to sell in Jerome. He has a beautiful backyard view of Logger Creek and there are many birds that have their homes there on the river bank. Well Grandpa kept telling the girls we needed to come by and feed the ducks- so we finally made it over one night last week and they were so excited to feed the ducks! Well, not a duck was in sight! We walked up and down the creek bed looking for hungry mouths to feed, but only a few would swim by here and there, and weren't the slightest bit interested in bread crumbs.
Well, come to find out it is mating season for the birds so they are a little busy right now looking for love and a place to nest! We did find a few later on that evening but they completely ignored the kids and the mounds of bread being tossed into the water as they headed into the reeds and bushes to have a little "alone time" :) Macee just kept saying- "Well Mom, I think they just want to go to bed!" Little did she know how right she was:) So instead we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and took some pictures in the pretty scenery. We will try again next time you swooning duckies!
