Turn and Duck!

I spent hours trying to come up with a fun title for this post.
I was disappointed to learn that although duck has
two meanings, both are spelled the same!!

Humor me please, 
maybe one or two of you could say "great title", if anyone even gets it.

Forster Tern

Female Mallard


Immature or Molting Male Mallards
 

And this poor girl who could neither duck nor turn,
we couldn't even wake her up!!
July 2nd (Ducks) & 29th (Tern) at the Marina

Sharing today with Stewart at Wild Bird Wednesday
Please stop by to view all the amazing birds from around the world.

I do not think it is worth to spend hours trying to come up with a fun title for this post.

You made the ducks laugh OUT loud.

Have never seen a tern before. I really wish I could turn my head around like that mamma mallard. Then I could see my son-in-law, mocking me behind my back. Hehe wouldn't he be surprised!!! Great title!!

I get it! I love your title. Great shots!

Great title Debbie :))
I really think it is and your pictures are wonderful as usual.
It's really hard trying to think of unusual titles isn't it. Sometimes I spend ages racking my brains thinking of one and then just give up, lol.

Beth said...

I understand your title. all great photos.

Amy Burzese said...

Great sequence or should I say a ducky sequence. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Cute title and great photos. Mallard Ducks are all over the world but we don't have that Tern where I live in Australia.

Aw...I've come to have a particular affection for Mallards. The six who follow me around the yard are so sweet!

Pretty bird pics. That duck must have been very content to stay asleep and not be running away...were you very quiet?

Miss Debbie said...

Love the play on words...very creative! As always...great pics!

Hours? You don't need to try so hard. LOL! Yes, I get the clever title, too! :-) The shot of the tern is gorgeous! Great catch light in all of the eyes! Well, except for sleepy head there.
