Ilean came on May 1st as a 2 month old Pekin duck. With her was Bertha, who became Bert when it was obvious he was a male. They were a comical pair. Ilean was loud. I was told that’s not a duck, that’s a goose because her quack was more like a honk.

We had to bury Ilean today. She was killed by a predator last night. It was sad. Bert is lonely.
