This is at the lake at Bonelli Park. I don't know what kind of birds these are but there's always a horde of them and the lake and this day the decide to gather around this woman and her son. There were a couple of other ducks in the bunch too.
Get a little mentally wet today and check out more wet and watery photos. click here or on the image/icon below:

I like this meme. I think am joining.
I am not going to even try and guess what they are. I will simply admire them!! The images are just so evocative of summer!
Thanks for sharing! And for creating Watery Wednesday!
a genuine photo. good day.
So nice pictures of happy birds! I am not sure, but I believe we call the birds "Sothøne" in Norway. Means something like a black hen. Difficult to decide - the red eye is simular.
Never seen som many together, but I see them often in a little lake near by. They are mascots of the lake, because the lake is protected by law.
Hmmm...I'm not sure what they are either, but I've seen some on the lakes in A'dam. Anyway, I thought it was you on the pic as it was me on mine, only in back view. :)Thanks for hosting WW, I like it coz I'm a water person myself.
That's a happy water scene. I'm pretty sure those are American Coots.
Very nice pictures. Your last picture was exceptionally good.
Looks like a lot of quackery to me! :-D

Looks like a nice day to hang out with the birds. I don't know what they are either but they're interesting with their dark heads.
Nice to see all those birds getting along so well!
You have to hand it to a duck, water always rolls of their back. They look passive on the surface, but under the water their feet are paddling like crazy.
Lovely! I like the blue ... and the ducks.
I think they are coots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coot
Great photos!
Cute. Looks like a traffic jam of ducks.
The ducks are adorable! The last one is definitely my favorite :)
I especially like the last one. She seems like she's posing.
Coots - such a silly name for a duck don't you think!
There's so many! That would be fun to feed them & watch them swim around!
So beautiful. I wish I can visit this place.
Now that is pretty with all the duck bonuses!!! :)
lovely place to get wet!
beautiful images too!
wonderful bird shots!
Thats a lot of ducks! Nice tight grouping in the shot in the second image.
T: What a wonderful look at all the Coots and the Mallrd.
Those are precious birds with a great place to hang out! I too posted a "bird in water" shot for WW! Enjoy the day.
Great photos. I too think they are coots... but not old coots, like some of us ;) Tks4Vst
thats some good eatting sister chk this
I loved seeing the duck pictures. Reminded me of when my kids were little and we'd take them to the 'Duck Pond.' That's always been a treat for kids and I guess it still is!

What a beautiful bunch !
Have a happy day !
Ohhh you got my heart with the ducks. Great Pictures. We had a pet duck (Yes he was white and he came to us named Aflac) and he would just follow us around the yard like a dog. Believe it or not they ARE wonderful pets. Great pictures, Thanks for having me!
These are a lovely series of photos - just gorgeous.
The black and white birds are crested coots. I love those birds (although they can be pretty mean towards eachother and other birds!)
I love your entry. Makes me smile :o)
Hi, 25weetnsaxy, I like your blog in here. I like the photos. And... I would like to join this "Watery Wednesday", but I am not sure how. :) And where should I ask permission to join this?
Love the last one! How you can see the duck's little webbed feet under the water.
Just dropping in to say hi. They look like common coots, birds that we have here in Indiana in the winter time. Ours are very timid and want at least 50 yards between any human and themselves, unlike yours who seem to thrive on much closer contact.
