The Old Iron and One Duck
Captured in Oatman, Arizona. Located in the middle of the desert, and known for the wild Burro’s that raom the street, it is hard to imaging that some peculiar duck species actually migrates from the Grand Canyon to Oatman during the month of June. Scientists are still processing migration data and surely will capture, tag and band some of these for future research. This little fellow was spotted on an antique Fordson tractor right on Main Street.
Note the similarities to this Duck spotted at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon:
Then later, spotted in Bristol TN, at a NASCAR race:

Old MacDonald never invisioned it,
But on that farm he had Albino Ducks.
Old MacGregor and Old MacCormack used to laugh at him when they saw him in town buying supplies.
“there he goes… OL MacScrewloose on his way back to Crazyville” they would say.
But that was before….....
Before Albino ducks became one of the most sought after delicacies second only to the truffle.
Now Old MacDonald is getting $300 a pound for Albino Duck meat, and the price is still climbing.
Climbing atop his trusty Fordson, and glancing down at the stuffed and mounted Albino Duckling he always keeps with him, Old Macdonald thought to himself…..
Who’s laughing now assholes?
Who Laughing now…
Andy Mueller replied
OMG that is so funny …. truffles? Albina duck meat … Oh we are going to have so much fun with this down the road ….. You crack me up, I had tears in my eyes ….

perhaps the duck has a 5 year plan like the Soviets in that he will plow the field, plant the seed, and then harvest the corn. but first he has to figure out how to get his little webbed feet down to the peddles. ausgezeichnet!
