The eclipse photos didn't turn out. I need a heavier tripod.

In the meantime, I blame these evil little buggers.

Mine didn't turn out either. I don't have any evil-but-cute ducklets to blame so I'll have to cop to allowing my lens to fog up.:P

Awww!
Beware the ducks of doom, my son
For they are very cute
They sneak up when you least suspect
And make off with your loot!

:D Evil little fluffballs, they are......

Yes, they're more evil than Intel(tm)! You can tell, it's written all over their down and glinting in their eyes. They're plotting to blot out the sun, with their black beaks and webbed feet, forever. ;)

Seriously, these two remind me of a type of duck one of my grandfathers used to hunt in the Everglades of Florida called the Florida Mallard (http://myfwc.com/duck/mottled/), only that they're black with grey instead of golden yellow/tan with grey. What subspecies are these two you have pictured?

They are Australian Wood Ducks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenonetta Not to be confused with Wood Ducks you have there.

Are you calling them Peking Duck?
