The woodies are still here

April 3, 2026 • 2:27 pm

The woodies seem to fly in every day about 11 a.m. and are still here when I leave about 2. I still have no names for them, as nothing suggested struck the right chord.  Here’s a preview of the next set of duck photos, which will concentrate on the wood ducks as Vashti is nesting.

Feel free to suggest names, which should reflect the fact that they’re perky and gorgeous. (The last pair was named “Frisky” and “Ruth”, with Ruth having a Jewish name.)

  1. To reflect the hen’s colouration and the drake’s pompadour, I suggest Sandy and Danny. An all-American couple.

  2. For the male – Perkin…as in Warbek, Yorkist pretender to Henry VII’s throne. Female – Liza. Liza Minelli was a perky woman!

  3. Suggestion from AI requesting names that reflect the description “gorgeous and perky.”
    Ziva: A Hebrew name meaning “radiance,” “brilliance,”
    Miyuki: A Japanese name that combines the meanings of “beautiful” and “happiness”.

    Ziva for the hen and Miyuki for the drake.
