American Black Ducks
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 17 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
It was a huge surprise to see these ducks in our yard. Our recent rains must have brought them in to our ponds.
Note that these shots were taken from inside the house, through glass, across the porch and through the screen door, so they're not the sharpest.
* We are away until Saturday the 20th. I'll try to catch with everyone after that.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

It is original, it looks like we see them moving in front of us so, like a little movie! And photos are good through windows and doors! Bravo Judy!
