On the way home I stopped by the lake to photograph these very hungry birds from the cab of my truck. People are feeding them which is forbidden according to the sign a few feet away. I bet they are tossing bread out for them too which has zero nutritional value for the birds, perhaps not even for people too.
Not a great photo as I couldn’t focus the 50mm lens properly. The clouds have again blocked my wonderful sunshine and I am wondering when the frequent windstorms will return to the valley since the summer has gone. Those fifty-plus mile-per-hour winds can be exciting as my house creeks in the powerful winds!
Cool birds. Quite the variety!
Yep, thanks! The little Coots like to hang with the big birds.
I like the reflection in your image John. Wonder bread, itâs a wonder they can call it bread? Carbs and sugar (or corn syrup) .. the two things we eat too much of and itâs difficult to avoid, along with salt. Weâre the ones that are quackers!
LOL, yes we are, have a look at the world today. I haven’t ate that “bread” in a very long time, yuck!
I thought it was called Wonder Bread because I wondered how anyone could eat it.
I probably ate it as a kid back in the day. I saw the factory this company owned on TV somewhere. It was a pile of you know what, but we have wonder bread in my local Kroger! Nope, I won’t buy it.
Me either.
Quite the variety of quackers there… đŠ
I agree, I think the white ducks are called Pekin ducks? The others I don’t know besides the mallards.
If the price of meats continues to rise, these duckies may need to find a place to hide.
I don’t think we have to worry about this, besides, they’d be some tough chewing.
I really hate to see people feeding birds bits of bread. What an awful thing to feed them, especially if it’s “Wonder Bread.”
I read about Wonder Bread, it’s wonderously empty of any nutrition and totally bleached!
