This weekend, we had some unexpected birds at our feeders (well...UNDER 
our feeders).  There, among the usual chipmunks, squirrels, Blue Jays, and 
sparrows were a pair of Mallard Ducks!  I'm not sure where they came 
from...we dont have any ponds very near by and they were not any of our 
neighbor's pets.  They stayed the weekend...eating bird seed and "bathing" 
in our ditch. I saw the male this morning...he flew away after being 
harassed by a couple Crows.  

It's been fun watching them!  Definitely not something we expected to see 
at our feeders!!
