Here is a flock of ducks feeding in a muddy pond and a little boy watched over them. I remember myself at that age doing the same.

Ducks talk!

Have you ever thought about all the ways ducks and geese are integrated into our sayings?

Goose bumps!
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
DUCK!(lower your head)
Silly goose!
Like a sitting duck!
Waddle like a duck!
Lucky duck!
A quack (bad doctor)
Get your ducks in a row!
Goosed (pecked in the rear)
Don't get your feathers ruffled (any bird)
Let it roll like water on a duck's back!
The goose that laid the golden egg!
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck.
Like a duck out of water!
Like a duck takes to water!
Loose as a goose!
Wild goose chase!
His goose was cooked!
Bottoms up!
Just Ducky!
Take a gander to have a look at something!
Going quackers!
Feather your nest!

Actually it is called a raft or a brace of ducks when in the water. If they are in flight, then it is a flock of ducks.

Very nice pic, btw.

You know, what , after seeing what our daughter did with Photo Shop , I came to the conclusion , that this is a fake photo. Look at it again.
