Description
These three Peking ducks spent the summer in my yard as a grasshopper control crew. There was a bit of a learning curve involved. They didn't seem to understand their job when they first arrived. I became quite adept at catching grasshoppers and tossing them to the ducks! Once they figured out that I wasn't going to spend the day feeding them grasshoppers they began to catch the hoppers for themselves. Then everyone was happy!
A Pekin duck is a breed of duck. Also known as a Long Island duck, this domesticated descendant of the Mallard has a yellow bill, white plumage, and orange webs and is the most popular commercial duck breed in America, where they're raised primarily for egg and meat production.

Wonderful capture of these ducks, Alana. I particularly like the shadow of the one duck's head and bill on the the other's back. f/l
