Waterbreak?

While others spent time with political commentary and still others plotting their next move we took this bright, sunny afternoon to tour the country side & enjoy what's left of the fall foliage. Coming across the Calcutta-Smithsferry Road I caught sight of this pond with all the ducks. They caught my attention and made me wonder if these feathered fowl actually live there or were just making a lay-over stop on their way south. We don't get out that way too often and couldn't determine which is the story. Being this time of the year I'm inclined to believe the flock stopped by on their way south for the winter season but what do we know. We're village kids. Whichever the case it was interesting to us.

Thanks for the nice photo and common sense approach to all this nonsense. People are arguing more over little Wellsville than they are over the presidential nominations.

You will probably see those same Canadian Geese there at Christmas.
This area appears to have turned into the southern home for the northern geese. They are not usually welcome as they tend to make a mess.
