Sleepy Time


I don't think I have ever seen a duck with its head tucked under a wing as far as this one has. She was really tired so her mate was keeping watch for her.

Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.

  11. Hello :=)
    The robin is the first bird to arrive for breakfast. I agree that ordinary birds are always nice to see, and this pair of Mallards are a delightful couple. I never tire of seeing them, but I have also never seen this nap position. Nicely captured image!
