The Intruder

A few seconds before this pic was taken those ducks were sleeping and lounging on the grass but then this young visitor arrived and they all fled into the pond. The dog soon left and the ducks returned to their resting places.

    they are smart not to trust a dog, my dog loved almost everything, but she used to growl at ducks

    I'm kind of like Mike, I'm betting the dog just wanted to be friends but, I totally understand the reaction. I'll bet those ducks have been chased a time or two. What a cute scene!

    Love it, Pat! I've seen the same things. Ducks sleep while they're awake I think! Seriously, they can spot an intruder a long way off and they don't hang around if there's any chance that intruder will harm them.

    Such a fun loving dog & I'm guessing he was excited to explore!

    Can't fool a duck, they have to retire early now to catch up on their sleep. :)

    Ducks are smart and water is their friend, but I am surprised that dog would not go in the water after them?
