Just Ducky!

Two ducks take a dip in the pool -- for now!

Everything seems to be going swimmingly for these two feathered friends as they visit this covered pool in Milford. The photo was taken March 28 by homeowner John McCann.

He reports that every spring for the past five or six years two ducks have visited the cover on his pool. They apparently have good taste!

They disappear when he uncovers the pool in May for human use.

McCann is wondering if other Milfordites have ducks visiting their covered pools in the spring.

yes - we live on Maple Street and have two ducks (male and a female) who come to our pool every year. The male is very protective of the female. This year about a week ago they arrived and the female laid an egg on the rim of the pool. I guess it's nesting time - but we weren't sure what to do with the egg as it certainly couldn't be hatched where it was. The ducks stayed for about a week on and off - and then after the egg was laid - they disappeared. Our first egg! Hooray!

To clarify, they have 4 cats, and they're only able to take two of them, plus their 14 year old dog.Read More It was a struggle for them to even find a way to get the dog in the rental agreement, otherwise they would have tried to take them. :(

Sad that they had to leave these beauties behind. I'm sure they are heartbroken over it.
