This morning I saw a Road Runner zipping down the path below my house. Waited for Wile E. Coyote but he never showed. The Road Runner was cool to see though.

One day last summer at a pond near my SO's house, we heard several ducks suddenly erupt into a cacophony of quacks. As we neared the area, we saw why they were so upset. Stalking them was the fellow below.



The mink was unbothered by our appearance but eventually left - duckless.

I remember many years ago we lived in a semi attached house and our neighbors had a swimming pool. It was fall exact and they had the pool covered, but the cover was sagging and filled with lots of rain water and Maple leafs. One day I was putting laundry away upstairs, the window was wide open and I heard a lot of ,,quack...quack...quack..me being a nosy neighbor looked out and saw at least a dozen of ducks swimming in the pool...it was priceless to watch, the ducks thinking the pool was a pond.

That's a great shot! I also liked your"cacophony of quacks" collective noun; how onomatopoeic
