I stopped at the local pharmacy one day last week and as you can see there seemed to be a Mallard Convention going on at the side of the building. The fifty or more ducks were near the back door of the store. I couldn't see any food and they weren't where customers park but at a service entrance. See Mr. and Mrs. Duck there in the center. They seemed to be the leaders who had everyone follow them to my Jeep. However, notice the mallard in the center of the image. He's the one who seems to be honking the orders.

Have a 'honking' good day!

Wonder what they were up to? What a neat capture!
Oh how funny!! I hope there wasn't too much traffic!
How lucky you were to happen upon that.
Fun picture, Carletta.
Oh, that's just ducky! (oooo... my bad!) They thought it was the Duck Store - not the Drug Store! (okay... I'm leaving now!)
It's an unusual situation and good that you captured it to share with us.
never saw the likes of this .. Must have been a bargain haha Sandy
They are so pretty!
Polly want a quacker! :) Were they making a mess... if you know what I mean. :)
How cute! So funny you comment about having a "honking good day" also! You were lucky to find so many mallards! Was there a sale at the pharmacy for mallard goods? hehehe...
Loved this! Reminds me of a killdeer convention in the parking lot where I worked a few years ago.
Were they waiting for their pills ? :-) Good mystery photo !
Mallard Convention! That's a great description. Wonderful capture for this week's CC post ... thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
What an unbelievable gathering! And as you tell the story, it sounds as if this is quite a deliberate gathering! Intriguing!
A nice post, ducks are great.
That! is so funny
I love the music you've chosen for this one! Great post Carletta!
Carletta: What a great song to go along with your ducky post.
haha! Oh my god! it's like they are waiting for something big to happen!
How many! This just cracked me up. You couldn't fail to smile at these images.
You were there at the right time to capture their photos. Beautiful birds.
Hi! This is great. How funny it must have been to have all those ducks following you. Lisa
Perhaps the doctor that wrote their prescription was a "quack", and they were staging a little duckie riot...I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Looks like they were enjoying themselves
Perhaps they were discussing the next leg of their trip? :-)
Wow, so many ducks gathered together by the store. Customers must have been surprised to see them.
Goodness, what a sight.
I think I would be in a state of shock if I saw this many mallards at my drug store, then I would reach for the camera. Great post!
Wow, that's a LOT of ducks! :D
This was too cute. How interesting that they'd be hanging out like that. I wonder if someone normally feeds them. I remember my post about the flock of pigeons on a roof. They were waiting for feeding time and I was lucky enough to be there to capture it.
This is funny! Someone must feed them there. I wonder what they would buy if they get in?
good 1!!!
These just make a big smile come on my face...I can't help but wonder what they were thinking.
What a lovely thing to come across. Makes you smile :o)
That is so funny that they would be there like that...
