Hi, my name is Mary, and I love animals. I'll be adding pictures of Haven Hill as I go, and get better at this.
Hope you enjoy.
These ducks were at Haven Hill last year. I called them motorboats because of the way they'd scoot across
the pond. They were great fun. This is one mother duck and her ducklings.
Over the winter, they developed an unfortunate habit of escaping from our barnyard and terrorizing the neighbors'
bird feeders. Despite adding sunflower seeds to their food, we were unable to break the escape cycle and had to find
them another home. Did you ever try to round up ducks? These guys can fly !
Barry's goats had a lot of fun around the barnyard when we dug the second pond. The black one was
especially fond of the trees and kept chewing them down. It's a little hard to see, but she's reaching for a tree branch
here. Sadly, the water never really got clear and I haven't tried swimming in it, but the ducks surely love it.
UPDATE - May 1 - talking with Barry last week and it seems that one of our duck escapees did a good job.
She's returned to the barn now, enjoying the company of our last old goose. She must have been in the woods during the
duck round-up this winter. It's good to see a "motorboat" on the pond again.
