Just Ducky!!

As promised, here are the pictures of the Mallards that were swimming around the Cedar River at Michigan State University:

These two males were cruising for "chicks" on campus, I am sure!

He is saying: "Be subtle, Mack ...but slowly check out the babe downstream!":

But they swam faster to her and got there first. Mack pretended he was just picking lint off his suit so that she didn't catch on that he was really flirting with her. During this shot, I heard Mack mumble to himself: "I think I am looking subtle. Ummm. I wonder if she is free Friday night to go for a swim?":

Mack gave the other guys the "guy signal" to leave the two of them alone so he could ask her out:

But, his buddy stayed just close enough to see how Mack did with his proposal. He figured he would waddle right in and try if Mack was unsuccessful in his flirting attempts:

Dang it anyway, both Mack and his buddy were ignored. They swam away, briefly depressed, but still on the look out for another chick:

But, Mack wanted a drink from being shot down first. He ordered a double:

And, he was off to find another chick. "There are plenty of chicks in the river!", I heard him quacking as he headed downstream:
