PAIR-a-DUCKS

 

Last week I posted City Ducks.  Here are a few duck couples that are (I think anyway) luckier in their living quarters.

 Tufted duck couple in a country pond — North Fort Myers.

 This Mallard Couple hangs out near Fort Myers Yacht Basin.  They greet us every time we stop.  But they're off and away as soon as they see there are no handouts.

 Mismatched couple in the same pond area as the tufted ducks above.  I can't ID either.

   

MALLARDS

 

 Another Mallard Couple — an old photo, not sure where this was taken.  

We are away on a boat trip, and have limited computer time and access … will catch up with all comments and blogs when we get home.

And that's the end — that's all I've got this week.

  7. Now, how did I miss this one, and ducks, no less? Love it, Sallie, especially “bottoms up”. Very nice living quarters for them all.

  8. I really enjoyed your ducks. I had an escaped Wood Duck on our river in my blog post and we don’t get them over here so I know it must have escaped.

  13. I live in an area near to a big lake, and we have lots of ducks. I often go there reminding myself of helping mum rear ducks. The white and mallards, we call water ducks.

  18. Hi Sallie, I love the duck photos! And your comment on CranberryMorning about England was fun. It is definitely a foreign country, in a sense – and I love it! 🙂

  20. Great photos! Love the last one!

  21. I like those tufted ducks…I’ve not seen any here that I recall. And of course, the ducks “mooning” you are just too funny! I wonder if anyone is ever tempted to put some buckshot in their butts? 🙂

  22. Sweet shots.

  23. Love the bums in the air.

  24. Love the ripples and wavy reflections. The last photo is perfect! You were in the right place right time with perfect timing.

  25. Ducks are fun to watch. Great captures of these country critters.

  26. What cracking ducks! Always make me smile!
