Ducks landing

We have a "Place down bye the River", literally. It is located where High Rock Lake ends and the Yadkin River begins. If you go out early in the morning there is always some kind of activity that is just not seen anywhere else. Yesterday, as an example, I saw a duck come in for a landing. It was like watching a navy plane landing on an aircraft carrier. It legs were extended and it was braking with its wings until it hit the water. Next thing you know, the duck had its wings folded and was swimming. Then it begin to call loudly over and over (quack, quack stuff), as it was swimming away from the rear of our house. It wasn't long before another duck flew in for its landing, in exactly the same fashion. The first duck quit calling, and the second swam to the first and they swam off together. It was really a cool thing. The finisher, was a grey Egret took off just as the ducks were landing, as if they had coordinated with bird air craft control.
