Oh, my! How fortunate that you came along when you did! I hope they are okay tonight.

Here is a picture of Muscovy ducks that I copied from Wikipedia. The male on left and the female on right.


When I first worked at UnitedHealthcare, a goose made her nest on a little grassy "island" in the parking lot. There had been a tree there, but it didn't do well, so the landscapers removed it and just covered the island with sod. When we saw that pair of geese putting a nest there we panicked, because it was in about the third row of parking spaces ... what will she do if it snows? What if someone doesn't see her? The landscaper saved the day, though. He blocked the two parking spaces on either side of the little island for her. Every employee at every tenant in that building was keeping an eye on that goose on her nest. I think she got sick of us!
