Sleepy Ducks


Sometimes you just have to have a wee nap to help you get through the rest of the day. These two Mallards seemed to be sound asleep but I'm guessing they were still aware of their surroundings.

They usually have one eye half-open, just in case.

I agree. Works for people as well as ducks.

How they're comfortable like that, I don't know.

How nice to stay at the ramp to get out of the water if needed in case of falling bread outside.

Yes they are aware of their surroundings. They do sleep with one eye open.

We found a mallard hanging out on the log boom surrounding our water lot. He didn't seem to mind us passing by. - Margy
