  11. Wolverine Librarian says:

    Reminds me of the passage of “The Wind in the Willows” where ratty is reciting a song to mole about the ducks dabbling and he comes to the refrain
    “Up tales all!”

  12. Michigan Wolverine says:

    Or rather “Up TAILS all”

    How come you can never see the mistakes until it’s posted and you look like a ninny?

    Ducks’ Ditty
    All along the backwater,
    Through the rushes tall,
    Ducks are a-dabbling,
    Up tails all!

    Ducks’ tails, drakes’ tails,
    Yellow feet a-quiver,
    Yellow bills all out of sight
    Busy in the river!

    ah, Wolverine Librarian, you beat me to it. But I couldn’t remember where that little tidbit from my childhood came from. Thanks!

  28. Theresa says:

    Just watch ducks long enough, and they will do this. And everyone will go “squeeeee!”

  29. Meatcup says:

    awww! at my old cottage you could bring a lawn chair down to the lake and lil duckys would come and swim under your chair and look for food…

    I miss that place…you can never have enough duck tock in your life

  30. A thinker says:

    They say that the older couples get, the more they look like each other.

    These two have obviously been together for a while.

  31. layla42 says:

    cbf.com–I would *totally* buy a vase that looked like a duck with its hinder in the air! There’s gotta be one out there somewhere….

  32. Martha in Washington says:

    My dentist has the other ends of these guys on his waiting room ceiling! I like my dentist.

  33. kitty says:

    behold:

    BWANT

  34. *sings the Duck Butt song…which pretty much is just repeating the words ‘duck butt’ in a sing-song voice like a five year old*

  35. HelloKnitty says:

    Ducky’s got BACK!!

  36. Erica says:

    Oh golly. Duck ‘tocks are the BESTEST!

  37. R. Moore says:

    My school has been infested with ducks for years (the sister campus is infested with geese, oddly enough), and yet I have not once seen synchronized tocks.

    Who’s been training the wildlife?!

  38. Hazel says:

    OMG Paula…. You just Time Travelled me back to 1966… primary school…. we had to learn “Ducks’ Ditty”…. strange but interesting journey…..

    Duck Tocks Rule….

  44. Genn says:

    OH! OH! OOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD! IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD BREAKFAST YET, THEN CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?

  45. Genn says:

    pancakes, man. P-A-N-C-A-K-E-S.

  46. their duck bums are vulnerable

  47. anneelizmary says:

    Hmmm.

    ‘Tocks, definitely.

    Synchronized . . .–probably.

    Cone of silence? Quite likely.

    I’m with the majority, however. These are certainly duck butts. Opportunistically simultaneously viewed and snapped, but duck butts nonetheless. I have spoken. Now let me go up-end myself in this here pond.

    Nice duck tails!
