Every spring my yard is visited by wild ducks:

This morning, my front yard was visited by a dead duck. It’s likely that is was the same one in the above picture, as it was taken just last week. What an appropriate start to April Fool’s Day – having to grab the shovel and find a dumpster. We were all sad.

Oh and, I didn’t take a picture of it dead, that would be morbid and just plain gross.
