Armed with a quarter of a loaf of bread that was past its best, SoZ's Mobile Avian Catering Services set off again this morning in search of hungry ducks (and their friends). Despite the freezing weather, turnout was much better than last time. Two Canada Geese, two swans and a score of ducks came to enjoy the feast today. There were also a few dozen gulls that swooped down noisily to grab the first handful of bread, but they vanished as quickly as they arrived.

I liked the fearless Canada Geese the most. They boldly walked up to me and began pecking at my bag of bread while I was feeding the other hungry mouths.
