Food frenzy

These two attracted quite a crowd, although signs posted say not to feed the wildlife. I’m sure the birds won’t report them to the park rangers in any case.

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

Those sophisticated urban ducks don't consider themselves "wildlife", so they would argue that the signs don't apply to them. The Canada Geese, on the other hand, are definitely scofflaws. Maybe Stephen Miller can work on this problem once he is kicked out of the White House.

A very sweet scene. I’m sure the ducks enjoy it, but I know it’s not safe for them. V

It is a shame that it's not good for the ducks when it gives enjoyment to the people - looks like a beautiful park. V

Love how there's two geese among the crowd of ducks.

What a nice day to sit out in the sun and enjoy the wildlife and break a few rules as well.
I really love this moment!

They’ll soon have ducks in their laps.

Looks like the ducks are enjoying some extra food. V

Presumedly most people obey the signs! I've seen ducks so well fed
that they will just ignore the food being thrown for them.
A nice capture.V
