Could be that you're missing something.LOL. What's up with ducks? Why do people take so many photos of them? Is there something I'm missing out on?
(new PBS program: the joy of photographing ducks)
I don't know what it is, I just love to watch them. We get a LOT of ducks and geese through here in the winter, and while lots of people hunt them with a shotgun I have always preferred a camera. There are dozens of species, each with varying color schemes. Many species are not native to this area and migrate here during the winter. They will fly a thousand miles to spend the winter on the same lake each year, and then fly a thousand miles back to the same lake that they spend the summer on. They do this based purely on instinct, no maps or GPS, they just instinctively know where "Their" lakes are. I personally think that's pretty interesting and I like to photograph them.
Admittedly these are "Native" birds and were probably born on that lake and spend their entire lives there. I still enjoy watching them play and squabble though.
To each their own. I enjoy watching them, you don't. We'll both survive
