Default Re: Baby Ducks at the Mirage

I would like to introduce you to one of the coolest ducks in the world. About a year ago, a female duck at the Mirage was unusually trusting of me. Whenever she saw me near the pond's rail, she would immediatley run in my direction. She had absolutely no fear of apporaching me.

One day, she lept in the air and grabbled a cracker out of my hand (about waist high) when I wasn't prepared. Soon afterwards, I could easily get her to leap as high as I wanted for food. She's the only duck who behaves this way.

She seemed to disapear from the Mirage after a couple months. But, just a week ago, she reappeared at the pond and was just as friendly as ever.

A tourist took these pictures and was kind enough to e-mail them to me.
