Corny Ducks!

LC0434


I talked my husband into going back to feed the ducks. We took some corn with us to feed them.

LC0436


LC0437


Quack! Quack!


LC0438


So I snapped some close ups, while Dennis snapped some with the fisheye. He said I could share some of them with you.

We'll be on the road today, on our way to Missouri, so I may be slow making the rounds.

    These are fantastic, Lisa! That first one, the colors - magnificent! You must have called in every mallard within a 50 mile radius. Very special set.

    I don't think I've ever seen that many ducks in one place... and I've seen a LOT of ducks in one place. :)

    Holy Cow, don't you have a fan club. Do they show up everyday? That is a lot of Mallards.

    I love the close ups. I guess they will let you do anything for food won't they? LOL

    love those colorful, friendly ducks.. especially the first five photos... and it must be wonderful feeding them... and with the frozen river/pond (food is scarce), for sure, they are thankful for the corns...
