How funny she dived under the water! Honestly, I've never seen a duck dive.
In my city ducks live near lakes. They are accustomed to people and are not afraid at all.
And the rest, wild, live in the city, and very shy.
Thanks @trudeehunter! All of my content is video, so I try to find still frames from those videos to use as photos. It's not always an easy task though :( especially if there is a lot of motion in the video, which is often the case. Motion blur is not an issue in video because it all blends together at 30 frames per second, but finding that nice clear crisp frame amongst the hundreds of frames is proving to be a challenge :)
I often use the "dive time" to sneak up on them :) I have to be careful not to scare the other ducks, because the second a diving duck surfaces, they look to how the other ducks are behaving and if they're all leaving in one direction, off goes the diving duck :) Not stupid these creatures! "Social proof" ;)

Well, I think you do a great job @stanleyparker and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
It is very calming watching these videos you post. I look forward to them each day... and you even know the names of the birds!
Thanks @keithboone :) I really appreciate anyone that takes the time to view my videos and comment/upvote.
It's always a pleasure finding a new bird! The latest has been a Gadwall couple; and I spotted a Eurasian Widgeon the other day too :)
