Overrun by the ravening hordes!

That is really cool QO. Love the one leg Coot shot. As you said, they are usually quite skittish. You think this is ugly, you ever seen a Coot Chick? Ugh!!!!

Love that first one with the birds incoming.

I dig how the colour breaks up the snow.

I like the third one in the first set...make me think of the old Sesame Street song..."which one of these is not like the other"
Great contrasting colours with the male mallards against the snow.

OMG
The whole family was there.
Nice contrast between snow and ducks.

That is funny. Reminds me of the Pied Piper, but with ducks. Lovely detailed shots

Thank you. It was kinda funny, watching them all gather speed - only a few at first, but then the rest didn't want to miss out on something good. I went back the next day with a package of crackers. They didn't last long. I'm thinking of going over to one of the stores that sells feed and getting some duck feed. It's gotta be better for them than crackers.

HBG, didn't you post a photo of coot chicks a few months back? I have vague memories of that, and yeah, they were definitely not cute.
