Remember the old game you played in Kindergarten, Duck, Duck, Goose? While paddling a kayak around sunset on Lake Flower this summer, this is what I thought of.
Lake Flower can be accessed from the boat launch in the village of Saranac Lake, New York. I made this trip during the summer.
The ducks hung out with the geese. I am guessing they felt protected from the eagles by doing so. Maybe in their minds an eagle would go after a goose instead.
All of these were taken with a zoom lens and heavily cropped. Enjoy what’s left of summer.

The mallard ducks seem to be the most comfortable around people. Other ducks keep more of a distance from people. Thanks!

Yes we have the same here. The mallards are more social in the waterfowl family. The others are more standoffish.

Not sure what type of ducks people hunt. Maybe they had something to do with it besides the numbers. The mallards are everywhere. Some of the other kinds up here anyways are much fewer in number.
