In Memory of Bandit

Our friend Bandit has been missing from Mingus Park for at least two months. We've come to the conclusion that we must suspect the worst & that she will not show back up. At the time she went missing, one of her "boys", Frank, got his wing broken, so we can only guess that something got her & injured Frank at the same time. So today blog is in fond memory of our friend Bandit the duck.
Bandit appeared to be a Muscovy duck, which is a domestic duck breed, and was the only one of her kind in Mingus Park. She always hung out in the Choshi Garden, usually in the Koi pond.

Sometimes at the side of the pond...
She often sat on the rocks around the pond. The ducks to the right are Jesse (the Mallard) and Frank, the one on the right, and have always been referred to as her "boys". Frank & Jesse still are in the area & Frank appears to be recovering nicely from his broken wing.

And here is Bandit on her Princess Rock...she often like to perch on one of the smaller rocks & look out over her domain.
We'll miss you Bandit.
