Duck with no name.

 Hello pretty black duck with white/yellow bill.  What are you?  I think you're a Coot duck. So nice of you to come see me.

O look, it's a mallard stone.  They are all tucked in shady spots.  Funny, if you were a mammal you'd be tucked in a sunny place.

There's a line of mallard stones in the shade from the trunk of that tree...except when a dog comes by, then they lift their heads, is it time to flap wings and get out of reach? Not this time, that leash is short! Sigh, back to sleep.
