There's a little park near our house that's close enough to walk to. It has a little pond where we have occasionally seen a few ducks. Jonah likes ducks. He points at them and says, "Cack, cack!" It has been a while since we've had a duck spotting at our park, though.
But - I think we discovered where all the ducks in Coralville have gone! They go where the food is. Despite all the signs asking patrons not to feed the ducks, the ducks are well-fed at this pond. The parking lot nearby is the sight of many carnivals and Coralville's farmer's market, and I'm sure lots of the goodies make their way over to the pond. The shelter house near the pond has many BBQ's and get-togethers with generous food sharers. This, apparently, is where all the cool ducks hang out. Like, literally dozens of them. And they know that humans = food. Just sit down, and they come swarming. It's kind of gross, actually. (I'm not really an animal person). Jonah thought it was pretty cool. (And, yes, Brandon was feeding the ducks - rule breaker!!)
