Safety in Numbers

I've noticed a large duck population on the lake lately. Mallards, cormorants and who knows what else. This morning I noticed some unusual activity. The ducks clustered together briefly and then went about their business. It wasn't until the second time they got together that I got up to see what was threatening them. Aha...a young eagle was flying around. After it happened once again, I saw the second mature eagle. Double the trouble! Hopefully the eagles are looking for fish rather than the sitting ducks. I wish I had my large Nikon and telephoto lens with me to get a close up shot of the eagles.

From this, scattered about...

...to this, clustered together.
