Mallard Duck Visitors

 

Picture of mama and papa mallard on our deck in May through July 2021 taken from an upstairs window.

I was very blessed this summer to have two mallard ducks come and share our yard from May to into August on a daily basis.  Before the hatching season, mama and papa duck would come and sit on our deck in the evening and often come and peer through the patio doors to see what we were doing.  The loved the grass, the bird seed, and the peace in our yard.  We were surprised at how the Mallards accepted our big yellow dog (Labrador retriever) and were content to snuggle in the grass close to where he lay in the shade. 

You can read more about Mallard Duck as a spirit animal in this post I did back in 2008.. ANGELS, ANCESTORS, AND SHAMAN: Spirit Animal - Mallard Duck (angelsandancestors.blogspot.com)

Mallard as a spirit animal shows many blessings to those that they frequent.  This time, my teachings from the Mallards included:

1. Abundance comes in many forms and from unexpected places.
2. All animals and birds and aqua beings need your protection.
3. Find places and do activities that make you feel comfortable.
4. Be accepting of others even with their differences.
5. Enjoy your deck at any time of the day.

Blessings.
