On Saturday we took Emma to feed the ducks at this neat park we found in a neighborhood close by ours. Have you ever seen "The Birds," you know the show where the birds get organized and attack? That was what our experience was like. You see that big goose in the second picture, it almost attacked Emma and Michael had to kick it to get it away. It was a crazy goose that walked sideways and looked at you with it's beady little eye (probably because it's been kicked before.)
The ducks were not afraid of us, they got right up under our feet and when we tried scaring them away, they practically laughed at us. Most of them weren't even ducks, they were Coots, which are duck like birds. They look like a cross between a duck and raptors and they can run, no lie, run across the water. It was about the creepiest thing I've seen in a long time. Who knows if we will be doing that anytime soon. At least not without Michael to defend us, I was pretty freaked out. Anything not scared of me, scares me.
