quack

Since not much goes on during the winter along the Charles, I thought I'd discuss what I call the "white duck colony." I'm not sure if they're technically ducks or geese, but one of the only places I've ever seen white "ducks" with orange beaks and feet is along the railroad tracks by the BU bridge. These ducks look like the one in the Aflac commercial. They're as big as the canadian geese, but much prettier. It's a shame they live under a bridge with homeless people. They should be in a lagoon surrounded by lush vegetation.

Rich and I tried to look up what type of ducks or geese they are, but we've had no luck so far. We've discovered that a farm-raised breed of duck is white, but it's only used for eating and seems smaller than the ducks in the colony. The search continues.
