2024—Again On Golden Pond

A pair of American Widgeons swims across Water Ranch Lake toward the place on the floating boardwalk where people come to feed the ducks on the lake. As soon as someone walks to that area of the boardwalk, every duck (there are dozens) immediately turns and swims in that direction to reap the rewards. As soon as the feeder stops, all of the ducks return to the area of the lake where we were photographing them. Not sure if they returned thinking they’d get fed there (they did not; it was wishful thinking on their part) or if they normally gather there where we found them floating and sleeping early every morning we were there.
