What happened to flying south for the winter

Mary MacADNski: Many mallards and black ducks brave the winters and save their money for warm coats and snowshoes.

"You only care about yourself, you never buy me anything nice to wear".

Mary MacADNski: I give them a lovely pond to live in and my friends the frogs will soon be serenading them at night.

I can see the snow doesn't bother them a bit, Mary!

Mary MacADNski: Not a bit. They seem to like spring a lot.

Mary MacADNski: When I walk toward them they always retreat.
