Flying Ducks

Okay, have any of you ever watched ducks flying? Terra and I have observed a few in the past week or so, and we have come to realise that it is a very funny site. Other birds seem graceful and competent, but ducks seem kind of spastic. Geese are nice to watch taking off and landing - ducks are just funny. It's like someone snuck up behind them and popped a paper bag! Their wings start flailing around, and then they shoot up beating their wings like their life depended on it (although I guess the higher you go, the more true that is). They look so awkward - like a 14 year old boy who has just had his shoe size jump by 4 sizes over night. Actually, the old Nintendo game "Duck Hunt" was pretty accurate - flapping like mad, weaving all over the place, with eyes bugged out. If you want a good laugh, go watch ducks fly. That's my thought for the day.
