Oblivious

The ducks at Constitution Gardens aren’t bothered by visitors and basically just ignore them. Right after this was taken I photographed a mallard standing maybe two or three feet from me, and he didn’t seem to mind at all.

Neat shot of these two enjoying a walk with the ducks.

Amazing!!! You can't get closer than a 600mm from the ducks around here, and often not that close. Hunted, they are very skittish in our area. Hunting is even allowed on the wildlife refuges... I like how the man in your photo is glancing at the ducks resting a few feet from him.

A nice peaceful day and setting. Good for a brisk walk and nice for the ducks to relax after likely having finished lunch.

The people seem curious about them. Ducks and geese are definitely accustomed to people. You captured the lush scene well. V

Looks like a nice day for a walk.

It is interesting how quickly some birds and animals adjust to being near people, especially if people mean food! V

Guess they are used to a lot of people. V

The same as ducks wear caps! It's a very pretty picture, Helen. VV
