Walking in the park today, I saw a lot of mallard ducks, both male and female. The males, like the handsome fellow pictured above, were at times swimming sedately in the river and, at other times, diving down for a treat. Comically waving their orange-colored feet in the air, they scrambled around underwater, searching for food .

At the same time, their female counterparts, splashing around nearby, were having absolutely fabulous fun, as you can see from the smiles on their faces.
Who knew that ducks could have that much fun?
Always gives me a chuckle when I see them head down! Great shots!

Yep, they make me chuckle too. Sometimes they are very comical.

I am always amused when they dive headfirst … last weekend I saw swans doing that as well as the shad are running at the Detroit River. And I always get a smile when I see ducks smiling. 🙂
