Today we opened the duck house pop door, enabling the new ducks to go into the pond, but instead Bert took the opportunity to join them in their house and run. (Bert is the duck closest to the pop door.)

Waterfall and pond
I recently turned on the waterfall for our pond. Here are three clips of the waterfall, cascades, and pond.
Duckling spinning wheels
An extremely short video of a duckling rapidly paddling when stepping off the ledge in the duckling pool. Fun with sound!
Ducklings really swimming in kiddie pool
In my previous video, the water level in the kiddie pool was fairly low, so the ducklings were more wading than swimming. Today, I rearranged the steps, and made the water more deep, so they could actually swim for the first time.
Watch their feet zipping along as they get used to this new experience!
