©Delores J. Knowles 2008 -- This situation made me laugh and I wanted to share it. I was at a city park which surrounds a small lake that attracts waterfowl including swans and ducks. I was sitting on the bank taking pictures of some gorgeous swans, and I noticed these two female Mallards that were standing on the bank obviously engaged in a morning gossip session. Every time a swan would swim by, they would turn and look at each other as if to say "So what's the big deal about being a swan?" They were precious! Photographed in Polk County, Florida.

Great shot...I love to watch the female mallards as well, they are infamous gossipers! I find it interesting how many species of animals really are just very similar in their desire to lean on the fence and chat with each other sometimes.Mrs.David Jobes(Dee) Jobes 20 Jan 2008
