Crash Landings



Camera Critters

The ducks that gather near us are always so fun to watch! And as I feed them corn they come flying in.

Some land on their feet with a soft whush.


lc1336


Some patiently wait for some corn to land on their heads.


lc1334


Some try to land on their feet.


lc1335


But, land with a thud that sounds like it would leave a bruise. Do ducks bruise?


lc1332


There’s the one foot landing.


lc1331


Oops, off balance I guess.

She recovered quickly, ‘Do you have any corn left?’


lc1330


Maybe running will soften the landing?

‘How about I just land on your hand full of corn?’


lc1328


And still others, decide that walking is the easiest, less painful, way to arrive at the food.

‘Could you get this snow off my beak?’

I loved how you can see through his nostril. I know it’s hard to tell in this small of a photo, but that white fleck on his beak is his nose hole and the snow beyond.
