Description
A pair of gorgeous ducks seemingly playing a game of "you can't see us" with me.
The title is a quote from Obi-Wan in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Obi-Wan: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his identification.
Obi-Wan: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Obi-Wan: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.
I've held off putting this image up, hoping that I'd stumble across the name of the ducks, but have not been able to discover it. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them! Since I found them at the Catoctin Nature Preserve and Zoo )in Thurmont, Maryland ... http://cwpzoo.com) they could be natives of anywhere in the world, not just the United States.
Update, I have heard back from the Catoctin Nature Preserve and Zoo and these are Apricot Wood Ducks.
Image captured with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikkor lens April 27, 2012.
My thanks for the Star Wars quote above to the website IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/quotes.

Great capture with super poses and a good title to go with it! L
Lois Bryan replied:
Hi Martin!!!! Thank you so much!! I thought for sure that as soon as I approached them they'd high-taill it off ... but they didn't budge. I guess they're pretty used to humans by this time.

Oh, I do hope you find out what they are . . . your description made me laugh! Excellent camera work my friend! fl
Lois Bryan replied:
Hi Kathy ... thank you!! And so glad you got a laugh out of it ... somehow that title and the whole stealthy look on their faces seemed to fit. I've written to the people at the Catoctin Zoo ... hopefully I'll hear back about what kind of ducks they are. I kept running across pictures of Wood Ducks ... I think there is more than one kind ... but nothing that actually matched these guys. Thanks again for your visit!!
