Migrating to warmer weather...

Here's some breathtaking pictures I took at Campground Voyageur, Ontario, towards the end of September. It was an amazing sunset decorated with moving "V" formations of  migrating ducks. At this spot we could hear hundreds (if not more) of ducks quacking noisily in some nearby lake, while watching dozens landing close by. It was funny to hear their 'quacks' settle down and then start all over again when we suppose another batch of them landed. We added human subtitles such as "Hey! watch out for my wing!" "Dont land on my head!" "Arg! More late comers!Next time we'll sleep at a smaller less crowded lake!" just for the fun of it.


It makes me wonder about migrating to warmer latitudes too. You have to admit it is a smart thing to do when subzero temperatures are to be expected in your near future...
