Just a short distance from the Black-bellied Whistling Duck Kerfuffle that I posted last week a few small groups were calmly hanging out.

This floating mat of vegetation was solid enough to hold up the ducks but there was water around their feet.

This fellow was doing his own thing, sort of hiding in some taller grass.

In this group, one duck was on high alert, one was sort of alert and the rest were snoozing.
