ME FIRST!!!
The other day I wanted to take some pictures of the local ducks. So I take a ride to one of the ponds close to my house and add soon as I pull up to the pond the Ducks start to race for my car. They were looking for some free food.
I never went to this particular pond before so I did not realize that it was a requirement to bring food. Needless to say I was empty handed. Since there were so many ducks I decided that it would be best to pay for the pictures that I wanted to take.
I go to the local convenience store and buy some crackers.
When I returned the Ducks were still waiting for me. They must be used to this routine.
After I fed them some crackers they allowed me to take they’re pictures.
They even posed for me.
I think this duck, who I affectionately will call Marvin, was flirting with me so he could get more food thrown his way.
PS. I think these are actually Canadian Geese but not positive.

Those are most definitely Canada Geese. Big birds with a loud honk! I am sure they appreciated the fact that you brought them some crackers.
Same thing happened to me. I went down to a local pond to take some pictures of ducks, and I did not bring any bread. I didn’t know I was expected to do that, but their loud quacks let me know that they were NOT HAPPY that I had no food. Oh well… I did manage to get some photos of their looks of disgust. 🙂

Loved your post. Yes they are very opinionated. I got the sme attitude when I attempted to take the pics but since store was close by I decided to pay them.
