Lake Ontario from Burlington with a gathering storm.
the great escape
In the night the pen that protects Sangaha (the duck) along with Frisbee and Tikka (Silky Bantam Chickens) was broken open by a raccoon. In the morning it was clear from the remains that Frisbee and Tikka had not survived, but there was no sign of Sangaha. An e-mail to a farmer friend confirmed that raccoons often leave no remains and at only 10 weeks old Sangaha was not grown enough to fly and was undoubtedly eaten!
In the evening, after a long sad day, there was commotion outside. Neighbors were cheering as Sangaha was walking home down the middle of the road! One of the neighbors said that he had seen a duck (who he now understood was Sangaha), flying low over the fences and off into the distance last night. This unauthorized flight undoubtedly saved Sangaha's life!
