Ducks in the Morning

There's a ditch that runs straight back of our house toward the 400. Likely the water will not freeze. Makes a nice place for ducks in winter time. 

One particular early morning, as I was walking to get a better shot of the sun rise, suddenly these ducks took flight. This was the first wave.  As I continued, wave and wave flew away.

They circled high above until I had left.
