If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck. Is is, it's a Mallard, having a rest from paddling :) A resident of my local Public Gardens.

"Just thought I'd take a little nap and here comes the lady with the camera!" Well captured Lyn - I can even see a little irritation on Ms. Mallard's face.

In Jim Bob's world it could have all those attributes and be a goose. Sorry Jim Bobcat. Great photo. I like how he's camouflaged with the rushes. I think it's name is Moses in case you're interested. I really like this one Lyn. Looks like Moses has a stepping stone to the future.

THAT is one of the better captures of a duck I have seen lately. Love the detail and color especially in the breast feathers. A keeper.

He he he. Isn't Tick funny? I will never live it down, that I didn't know the difference between a duck and a goose. LOL. Well, anyway...I like this shot of the D-U-C-K. It looks to be a little meatier than the one in my freezer. Excellent picture.
