Took a short walk today and when I cam home, I found a new weather vane on the house.

Canadian?
These Canucks have invaded the state park where the pup and I take our walks. She finally....after 2 yrs, quit trying to catch one.
Nice roof BTW...GAF?

Yes, his mate was in the neighbor’s yard chowing down. These two have been frequent visitors to the neighborhood this year and much better to have around than the bloody geese.

Yeah...we have a married couple living in the neighborhood yards (and streets!).
Daughter thinks they are visiting the backyard pools.

If there's a food source, that'll bring 'em in for sure!

Roof put on by original owner but I believe you are correct. Primary source of food locally is from my neighbor’s bird feeder.

All we did to keep our pet Mallard close by was to feed him (and his pals) seed regularly!
