365 Days of Photos – Day 284

A bunch of these little guys lived at the lake behind our hotel – in Ruidoso NM

They are called American Coots. I love that name!! They are cute and have a goofy name…that makes me smile!

They were a little challenging to snap pictures of. Every time I tried to get a little closer they would take off running, then flying into the lake.

Do ducks have gangs?

I stopped by a local lake today to take some pictures. These 2 ducks started chasing the little guy with the black head and puffed up feathers. Every time he slowed down they kicked up water and took out after him again.

Duck Chase

When he finally reached the shore he started chasing 2 ducks that kinda looked like little outcast ducks.

I’m not sure…but I think there maybe a need for some duck police to patrol these waters!
