I took this shot up at Maumee Bay State Park, near Toledo, Ohio, and the ducks were out in force. I am not exactly sure what that structure is, but to me, it looks like a homemade lighthouse. It's been there for years, and the top is made of wood, or so it appears from close up.

Looks like another attack of the 'Feather Duster's' JB!....lol

They are pretty well spread out..so buckshot won't do much damage eh!....

it looks like a breakwater watch tower...(That's the name we give ours)

They are mostly all swimming in the same direction. Probably on their way to a meeting of the ODU (Ohio Ducks Union). The structure looks like a lookout station or it was a beacon and when they removed the light they made that wooden construction. Nice shot Jimbob.

Duck soup, Jimbob. And, an old, small light tower on the breakwater from the guy who loves lighthouses.

Jimbob, because the ducks have a lack of good lighting now in the nightly hours, think that they are asking: "Let this little light shine (again)." (lol).

PS: I could have provide you with a link for a song with that title, but I think this wouldn't be an appropriate one because believers sing this song as well and they have to be treated respectful.

Sufferin Succotash - I think I see Daffy Duck! Viewed in full, one really appreciates the number of ducks you captured in one frame. Good one, Jimbob!

Must be fish a plenty in this part of the Lake JimBob and those ducks are searching them out. The structure looks like a small lighthouse to me also. Very pretty scene.

If they'd stop moving around I could count them better. Look like a flock of lesser scaups have descended on the lake. Nice depth in the photo.

They're having a convention! The water looks a bit chilly though.
