On a recent Lake Meade Houseboat trip we acquired a pair of ducks that escorted us for nearly two days. Here are some shots of the male.

Here is one of him coming in for a landing....

They landed on the Hot Tub cover...I liked this pose...

The female would land on the sloped upper helm area and seemed to like it...the male would keep missing and going around for another try.
