Beware of those scary ducks!

This family had been sitting on their blanket when the duck approached them, probably looking for a handout. The kids all were frightened and the woman picked up the smallest one, and they left shortly thereafter.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Just chillin’, posted earlier:

Yep, those mallards are definitely scary ducks (NOT!). Too bad they had that reaction, but a terrific candid on your part. V

Sad they were afraid of the duck and not more curious. Good candid! V

It can be scary for little kids, but I think the duck just wanted a better look at those cool shoes.
