I have been living and walking around my lakes for 17 years now, and I still see new things all the times. Life is never boring around here. Today, I had yet another first. I saw two mallards fighting each other. It was a test of who will be the king duck of the lake, and a little struggle of male domenence. There were lots of onlookers too – quite a few Canadians and Cacklings, as well as other Mallards. I think they finally kissed and made up though. I didn’t see any bloodshed.





I guess even in the world of ducks, boys will be boys. π
Wow! I think it was just a friendly competition, like the duck Olympics.

Well, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck. If you photograph like an expert and write like an expert, you are an expert.
And I thank you for a beautiful holiday greeting card and a photo of your lovely family, both human and canine.

What a great thing to capture! If I didn’t know better, I’d think they were kissing.
We have some mallards around, but more muscovies. Watching them can get pretty entertaining.

I thought they were kissing at first too, but no. I think it was just playful mischief. π
