Wood Ducks in the Ashuelot River

During my lunch break today, I visited the Ashuelot River Park here in Keene, NH which is right across the street from my office in the Colony Mill building. During my walk, I startled a family of wood ducks that were floating in the river close to the path that I was walking on. They immediately headed across the river in a tight formation, aiming for a patch of long green grass on the opposite shore.

Once they arrived at their destination, they resumed there normal activities working between the blades of grass rising out of the river.
