The duck is back again. I don’t know if it had parked itself there sometime during the day, or if I’d just missed it on the way in yesterday morning, but yesterday afternoon on my way out to the car it was there. I think I might have just missed it. The feathers blend in with the woodchips and it was sufficiently rainy that I didn’t want to make a careful search.
If this keeps up, I may create a new category just for the duck.
