Ducks Walking on Fish

Author: Wes | Filed under: FREE Stationery, Site Information Monday Jan 26,2009

Hi Scrapbook and Stationery Friends,

Yesterday, we took a short trip to Lake Majave near Bullhead City in Arizona.  What we saw astounded and entertained us to no end…

We found a place where the Carp (fish) are so thick when you feed them that the wild ducks litterally walk on them to get to the food too!  If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the photo… click on it for a larger version.

Kathy and Wes’ mom, Donna along with our friend Carol had a ball feeding the carp and the ducks… there were even a flock of pigeon getting in on the popcorn action.

As you can see from the next image, the girls were all smiles and couldn’t believe how the ducks were literally walking on all the carp.

It was so funny watching the lake carp stick their whole heads out of the water trying to get the popcorn before the ducks could steal it away.  At times we had to have one person feeding the wild ducks so that the others could feed the lake carp some of the popcorn.  As you walked along the docks, the lake carp would be following you and begging for food…

We were just on the boat docks outside the visitor center at Lake Mojave – Katherines Landing… if you can believe that.  The carp, ducks, pigeons and other birds just hang out there waiting for nice people like us to come feed them.
If you don’t bring popcorn like we did, the visitors center sells some food for them too.
Here’s the image I took standing on the deck of the visitors center looking out over the boat docks.  You’ll notice that you have no problems seeing all the fat ducks and carp in the water… just watch were you step on the docks as the ducks are not the cleanest of birds!

One last image for you before we head off today to get some errands run…
Here’s a photo of one of the other birds that was hanging out with his buddies in the trees outside the visitors center.  Not sure what kind of bird it is, but they are all over southern California, Arizona and Nevada.

Hope you are having as great a week as we are…
Until tomorrow…
