This pond at James Gardens never freezes over totally because of a steady stream of water feeding it so the Mallards stay here all winter. They seem to be practicing a bit of social distancing this year.

Looks like a popular place to hang out.
ReplyDeleteOh neat, that's a great photo!
ReplyDeleteSo many ducks. Feed people them?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of ducks. It is good they have a spot that is not frozen. Great photo! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend!
I think they are! How neat to see so many and it looks like a cold place to swim but at least it's not completely frozen! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI knew they were smart birds! They must have a good thick coat of feathers to be swimming in that frigid water.
ReplyDeleteLots of ducks in that pond. There must be food nearby or they would leave. Keep warm.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting picture, Pat!
ReplyDeleteThat scene would make a pretty Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteMuy concurrido está el lago Pat.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana. Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Glad not to be a duck, the frigid water would kill me. :)
ReplyDelete...I'd like to trade a dozen geese for one duck, is it a deal?
ReplyDeletelooks like word got out. it's nice they have a comfy spot for winter with lots of company!!
ReplyDeleteI looked carefully to see if other species joined the congregation, but it appears to be a Mallards only club. Wonderful to see such a great winter scene though. I am sure that many passers-by enjoy it immensely.
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little bridge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great spot.
ReplyDeleteSo many... lovely image, Pat !
ReplyDeleteVery handy for them.
ReplyDeleteHope those Mallards keep themselves warm.
