Baby Mallards and more...

A visit to Gilles Lake yesterday was worth the trip. I managed a few cute ones of a new set of ducklings, the others in the first pic are getting big quickly, these juveniles were playing a game of "hide and seek"
"Okay Ready, come find us"..lol

 This baby seems to be saying "whaaaaaaaat"...

 What a little furry ball..they are..

 and Mr. Cool Pigeon, with the 'straw' in his mouth..

A few shots at..

Gilles Lake today, the ice is finally breaking up on this small lake in the middle of town, the ducks, pigeons and seagulls love this spot. The kids feed them often and enjoy their antics.
this is the first set of ducks I have seen on there this spring and of course the pigeons keep an eye on everyone in case we drop a bit of food for them...

Although the ice is still on the lake..

the gulls and pigeons can't wait for spring, for the 'walkers' to start feeding them. Gilles lake is a
popular spot in the nicer weather, it is a small lake and has a walking trail around it, about 2 km. round.
There are plenty of gulls, pigeons and ducks in the warmer weather, and are well fed by people dropping by and enjoying the scenic spot. It stll is quite frozen but won't be too long, before the ducks will return, have young ones and we can all enjoy watching them grow...but for now...

And a few more...

taken at Gilles Lake today...

Love his look...

these two were not on 'sportsmode', happened too fast but I liked them anyway...
