Ann: Exploration Update, page-18

I am certainly out of the loop..
not paddling with the flock..looking cool above the water and paddling like mad below.

Getting back to MACLEODs remarks about Bauba wading in ..well goodo
One more duckling or leader with their flock.

and the point that paja is blossoming just now...that took years ............................................
wonder what got that going...must be real slow paddlers...or been hatching some eggs.
How can they get away with it...the delays and uncertainty. There must be a good story to it.
They have been sitting ducks...sitting on this paja for too long and just when the platinum egg is about to hatch...they get up and squawk or rather quack.

I laughed at the Bahama corporate plastic duck race...not following the leader there...just chuck in a whole lot of competitors and let the best duck win...pretty random racing and not how ducks actually swim along..here. They do fly in sometimes and swim in my pool which is a surprise.
Perhaps our NKWE duck will get tired of just paddling and take flight too. Arrive somewhere very quickly and surprise ?

Those in the loop must have another duck story that they understand.
I find options interesting.
