I've Had Enough

This Mallard flying off was not in the mood for sex after the past few months sitting on her nest and keeping her chicks safe and sound. The intruding male in bottom left came into the Mama and Papa (center male) and her 7 chicks (one shown in bottom right).

A little social enviormental shot of the duck world.

I like the interaction here, even if it is being anthropocentric!

Phil,

Guilty as charged. I actually feel more at home with the birds than some humans.
