Good morning! I’m only smiling because you’re here (also, we have some pictures of our Iris❤️❤️❤️, but we’ll save those for tomorrow):
We had a morning of heavy hail! This picture may not look like much. . .
But look at this picture Ann took of the road! It looks like snow!
Here’s a video of Patrick and Aoife weathering the storm (more after video). . .
Let’s zoom in on the above video. Can you see how still Patrick stands, and how he’s pointing his head and body upward? All ducks stand like that in a storm. . .
It helps the water run off their water-resistant outer feathers, and keeps the dry, fluffy feathers next to their bodies dry! 🐴
