Somewhat eventful trip. Stopped for a quick break/rest between the Tatum and 56th St. entrances and a pair of ducks flew in from nowhere apparently intent on dive-bombing me. They missed me by about 20 feet and landed right next to me.

Seems they like people (I'm betting they get fed bread quite a bit) so I grabbed my point and shoot and was able to snag a few pics. Nice couple of mallards must've been out on a date. I couldn't get closer than about 5 feet, but that was plenty to get a great look at the pair. After staring me down and auditioning to take over the Aflac gig, they started quacking progressively louder and finally took off to the west.

Good times =)
