Mrs. Melanie Tweed Lost Her Ducks in the Reeds

In Point Roberts out at Boundary Bay, in the community of Tsawassen, there is a public park and beach where the locals walk. It is well taken care of. It has an ice cream stand and great walking paths. It has many birds. The birds would come here for several reasons. They were close to the ocean where they can find food. They were close to ponds and streams. In these aquatic places, there were great resources to offer young families of ducks. Not to mention of course, many other types of birds like to live there as well. This past year, Mrs. Melanie Tweed came to Point Roberts.

Mrs. Melanie Tweed was a shapely duck, very stout and bright, when she and Mr. Henry Tweed were putting together their duck nest in the grasses. Melanie had chosen the ideal location for her home. Can you believe by some mere happening, she selected a marsh and pond which was in a bird conservatory? She could have chosen no better. She selected as her duckling raising grounds a place called Point Roberts in a public space right near the beach.


The lucky thing was that with the ocean nearby most passerbys are drawn to the view of the ocean a few hundreds of feet away. This meant that her family could live with relative peace in their pond. Yes, it was true, this marsh attracted attention. Yet, that attention seemed to draw audiences of photographers and nature lovers.


The people who bought in the neighbourhood nearby were mostly nature lovers. They were attracted to the sea, to the walking paths, to the birds, and to the natural life that could be seen in the wildlife park. This place was safe. Being near the water, there were no coyotes or foxes. It is true, there was an odd dog. Right nearby, there was a sign with "Onleash only" and none of the dogs right there ran free.

Book Description: Mrs. Melanie Tweed chooses the Boundary Bay pond in Tsawassen, B.C. as her place for building nests and raising her young. She has her ducklings there. The inevitable happens. Her ducklings go missing! Read this story to hear how Mrs. Melanie Tweed sorts her problems out.
