Watching ducks/swans/birds can be very interesting.  I went to my nearby town pond today because I was very bored and need to take pictures for my photography class.  I started walking around, finding paths along the way in every direction.  But, I soon noticed all the "birds" around me.  I could not believe that they all stay so close together, like a family.  And when you take pictures of them, you start to learn more about them.  Ducks and swans especially, were swimming around very close to land; a lot of the ducks would also come on land and walk around, following each other making loud sounds.  These sounds, or "calls" caught my ears too.  I was soon taking more pictures than ever.  They would actually come right up behind me, I was a little afraid but I knew they would not attack me.  I would definitely go back there to take pictures or just to relax.  I always pass by the town hall, but I never seem to go in and take advantage of the beautiful scenery.  I know people who go in there often, but these kids use it more like a hangout where other people can't see them, especially their parents.  This is very sad because these kids have nothing better to do.  Today, I seen a lot of park rangers, so they patrol the area very well.  I am sure they survey the area very well day and night so these stupid kids don't ruin the area.  I will probably go back to look at the birds in about a week to take more pictures because it is truly a beautiful place to go.
