We had a similar scene at our house lest week except our cat tried to eat the box. She will (and often does) eat anything. Congrats, Lisa.

Since Permagrin keeps asking for more duck shots, I guess I can lend my first ever POTN duck shot to such an awesome (in a scary/holy crap kind of way) thread as this. My only hope is that my hairy duck shot will appease the gods of POTN (server hamsters). :cool:

Wow! Kinda looks like Harpo Marx -- or Phyllis Diller. :D

I wonder if this is a case of "The higher the (duck) hair the closer to god(s)!" You should get bonus points for this. :lol::lol:

Cool duck thanks for sharing, Becky. ;)

No problem, glad you got a kick out of this guy. He had a beautiful little girlfriend there at the pond, I think the hairdo is like a Fonzy thing amongst the ducks of Chesham. The higher the feathers the more potent the ducks coolness. ;)

AND...he appears to have a somewhat-corroded bronze bill. What a lovely blue patina!

Nice, great optical quality and a setup that won't hold your 1D3 back (well maybe except for the TC ;) )
