A glance and a quick snap grabbed these two lovers in a water bokeh. :)
Oh man!!!!! If you a fast computer you should really check this one out large: Large
Ducks in a pond in Florida. The building reflections give the impression of a 3D space due to the ripples from the ducks. The "stars" are highlighted bubbles picking up the early morning light.
Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
We have a flock of about 200 Mallard ducks at our lakefront that stay for the winter every year.
Here they are feeding in mass, and some can be seen swimming with their bills in the water, straining tiny plants and plankton into their mouths. They also are fed by many local bird lovers who come daily to the waterfront and spread cornmeal in designated areas that the ducks are familiar with.
.an aside: I was just walking past with my dog and snapping pictures with the little camera- Lake Carnegie is usually good for a decent waterfowl picture now and then. I did not even look at these photos until days later and had to consult my bird book to see who the brown-headed fellow is. I now know he is a Pintail Duck and I have never seen one before; had I known he was there hanging with the Mallards I would have taken better pictures! So, the dogs are walked in this park frequently and I will certainly stay alert for the Pintail!

Given the colorful uniforms the Oregon Ducks are accustomed to wearing, I thought it would be fitting for a pair of colorful ducks for this sentiment.
Following up on my previous image of the young ducklings, here is mom preening herself on a quiet morning. The young ones are not far away, snoozing the morning away
