Hoping for some sun which never arrived, I ended up at the Duck Pond at lunchtime today. It was pretty busy - lots of folks from nearby offices like to get some exercise at noon.

Several duck families visibly diminished in number drifted around.
 
     
   
     
Suddenly a tiny Goldfinch called out a warning and the birds went nuts!
 
     
   
     
So did a frog. 'Giddyap - go, go, go! No froggie legs for lunch today!'
 
     
   
     

Harrassed by crows, a couple of Bald Eagles managed to land in a nearby Cottonwood tree.
 

     
   
     

Hey! You can't hide by sticking your head in the water, dopey! Let's boogie!
 

     
   
     

Run, run, run as fast as we can! We don't want to be lunch for those two!
 

     
   
     
So hey - whaddya say to a little Duck Soup today? Did you hear what I said?
 
     
   
     
Don't bother me - my feathers are a mess! I can't be seen like this! I have a reputation to uphold.
