 Another day, another park. My husband and son have both seen a Bald Eagle in the area lately and I was hoping to find him here, since there is a large, well-stocked lake surrounded by woods. No such luck, but this duck pair amused me to no end.

I think she is a Northern Pintail, though frankly female ducks are hard to identify!! He's clearly a Mallard, but she can't be due to her size, lighter coloring and that gray beak. But species be damned; he followed her everywhere, and she even slowed down and waited for him occasionally. True love :-)

The title is perfect for this. It even looks as though he's calling and she's half-turning her head to look behind.

Cute! I love ducks. He really looks like he's chewing her out about something. Loved your comments on the photo.

The ducks are having quite the time. The ripples in the water are great and the story is a hoot.
