Default Tired of ducks yet?
Hope not, i have quite a few more I'm really starting to hate snow.............makes the edit so much more involved. (Pain in the @#!* actually) These mallards were in a small 15 foot circle of water that didn't freeze because of a spring. You can see it boiling up on the right of the ducks.

Great clear shot. The ducks look like they are trying to keep warm by staying low to the water.

Great capture with both of them drinking at the same time. Ducks always make a great subject because they have all the colors and are fairly easy to capture,depending on where you are. Good job!
