Just some ducks (or Knotaloons, as they're called here...)

With the local eagle family on the move (I saw one in flight and one at the nest for the first time in over a month and a half), and the rotten weather, and work, I haven't taken many pictures lately. Feeling kinda blah, I knew I needed top get out and shoot, so I headed down to a local pond for some pictures a couple times in the last week...(will post a merganser thread also).

My wife came a long to feed the ducks while I got a few pics...I took this one from across the pond:

Landing (not a great shot technically, but I like the "feeling" of it):
