Ducks are frisky at Lake Morton






The ducks are still frisky here in central Florida. A couple of weekends ago I stopped by Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland hoping to find baby swans. No baby swans yet but I'm going to keep looking. The ducks were busy chasing each other. We already have a lot of duck families with babies, some almost full grown. By the way the ducks were carrying on though, I think there are still more babies to be born. It was funny to watch the ducks chasing each other. Although in the first picture, I think the white duck was actually chasing the male mallard away.

    looks like there's lots of duck variety there. or maybe those mallards are not yet mature? they're all beautiful and can be quite scrappy during mating season!

    Hi there - the number of times I have seen parents of young children cringe when there kids ask " Mum - why are the ducks fighting?" - some of the answers can be very creative!!

    Nice "action" sequence.

    Oh, it is that time of the year - not only for the birds but for the teen-agers at my school. Frisky indeed.
