I could not find another spot for this.

I thought that I had seen pretty much everything, but. Earlier today I was out for lunch. It is raining cats and dogs where I live in Florida right now. I have never seen ducks hiding from the rain under trees, I just saw that. Did I miss something?

Even American ducks have become too soft, or maybe they are just getting smarter. Hoyt Jul 2019 #1

here in NE Ohio we had quite a downpour, and I saw two robins hiding under the stone bench in my back yard while it rained. I actually saw them out on the grass when it started to rain, and once the rain got intense, they hopped under the bench and waited it out, maybe 15-20 minutes. Maybe animals are smarter than we give them credit for????

If we don't kill them along with us, they own the place outright. My money is on smart cockroaches, I think that we will take the smart ducks and robins with us, unfortunately for them.
