Ducks on Boula Street 100/365 Things to Do
You can take the girl off of the farm but you can’t take the farm out of the girl. Oddly I do live in Bonita Farms, though there are no farms located in this part of Bonita Springs any more. I have put the miles on my sneakers burning up and down all the streets that run off of West Terry Street. Right across from Bonita Middle School is a street called Williams Road which leads to River Royale. When you turn on Williams and immediately turn on Boula there is a boat ramp and a family of ducks that hang out. White, Pekin farm ducks … just like the good old days!
In this area of SWFL we have a lot of Muscovy ducks and mottled ducks so seeing a stark white duck when I was walking was both a surprise and a delight. They literally stand there and eat all day. I have walked with Jen and taken her by them and even driven by with Jerry and a few clients when I am out showing property. They are probably from Rural King which is about a mile away.
If you love critters drive by and take a look at them! If you’d like to see Muscovy ducks they frequent both Nuttinglikit Grove and Rio Vista Estates off of Pennsylvania Avenue.
