Odd Sighting



Today as I exited Boucke, where I had just finished my math class, and was on my way to Ag Business Management, I saw two mallard ducks. Now this sighting wouldn't have been so unusual in itself (I have seen ducks before) except that they were in the middle of campus, just off of the section of Shortlidge Road that has been made into a sidewalk. This is no where near a pond or any body of water (for anyone how doesn't know the lay out of the campus). I think they might have been out and about because of the dreary weather this morning, it being so rainy and all. There was both a male and female and the female was getting a drink of water until they noticed me approaching. I figure they must be fairly tame because they didn't move until I was only a few feet away. I just wanted to pick one up (I don't know, I have strange urges sometimes), but I restrained my urge because I was on my way to class. And what would I have done with a duck?

Okay, so I'm told by my room mate that it's not as unusual as I made it out to be, and I saw another one since then, but I still think it's odd.
