Aquatic Birds

Take the Bread & Run!

I was watching a family feed bread to a large gathering of ducks and coots. There was a lot of pushing, shoving and bickering going on for the unhealthy but apparently tasty junk food. Suddenly this one female wood duck snatched an entire soggy heel of bread and took off running away from the crowd in the direction of the shallow water.
