Alfalfa in his pseudo-pond

Alfalfa finding lettuce in his pseudo-pond.  We are trying to get him used to looking for food in water.  The ducks in Lake Afton eat vegetation below the surface of the water.

We had put some corn kernels and lettuce pieces in the water.  Alfalfa preferred the corn - kind of like M&M's - easy to eat.  He likes lettuce but has to work harder to eat it, breaking off pieces a little at a time.

Mmmmm!

Alfalfa with some of that green stuff.

Amazing that he knows instinctively how to flap his wings and raise himself above the water, making it look like he's standing on the water.  Just like all the other ducks.  So cute!
