A Crazy Duck

As you have guessed, I went to another park. Today was not as sunny as yesterday, which made it harder to spot animals. I'll skip the boring part and get right to it. Oh, and no, I did not see anything new except for this silly new duck. 

I think ducks are cute. I really love the ducks that are colored. Back to the story. I looked to my left, and saw this creature on the river far in the distance. I could not see it very well, but I got closer, and started taking pictures of it. When I reviewed the photo, the duck looked like something I've never seen before. It had black striped on its belly, and the eyes were bright yellow. As I paid closer attention, I saw the duck move in the same direction I was going, and the water streams were pushing it. I decided to run, and then hopefully find a path to the river. I challenged Google with this one, and it turns out it is called the Hooded Merganser. Oh, what a beautiful duck.

I ran till I found a small opening full of twigs, that led close to the river. When I got there, I saw the duck moving the other direction. This got me mad, and I dashed back to my dad. I took a look at my camera, and the lens looked like a mess. It  was full of small scratches, but luckily I was able to wipe them off. 

That's basically it, my whole day. I really loved that duck's colors, though I wish it came a little closer. I went home, and uploaded my pictures for the day.
