Ducks in the Crosswalk - Marysville, CA

Getting from Quincy to our overnight in Patterson, CA, we pass through Marysville’s downtown section. We were waiting at a particular red light with a city park on our right when up to the crosswalk 2 hungry ducks appear. They are either eating grain left on the pathway and edge of the road or consuming grit for their gullets. Either way, they appear to be getting ready to cross the busy highway as soon as the “WALK” sign is illuminated. So, Boots (the driver at the time) watches carefully and creeps into the intersection being careful that she doesn’t commit duck-icide. Thankfully, the ducks are too focused on their eating to pay any attention to the traffic or wanting to cross the road. So, no “Why did the duck cross the road jokes?” here.
