(You’ll be rewarded with… underwear?)
While running the other day, I passed by a park. Enjoying the park were happy children, chatty mothers, and busy squirrels– your standard park-goers.
But this park was also home to some not-so-standard inhabitants. (A few days after my run, I walked back to the park with a camera in order to get the photos below.)
Are they chickens? Are they ducks? I guess I could call them Chucks… or Dickens… or something else that isn’t exactly PG-rated. Whatever they’re called, they sure are odd-looking. Talk about ugly ducklings! Just one more thing to add to the list of funny things I see when I run.
What are some of the funniest things you’ve ever seen, either while out running or just in your day-to-day life?
haha those are so cute!!! i love funky combinations of animals. the weirdest/ cutest things i have seen while running is ALPACAS and LLAMAS! my neighbor has them :):)
WTF ARE THOSE THINGS?! Seriously?! They’re like the mutant 3-eyed fish on the simpsons!
funny things i see when i run: drunk people stumbling home from the bars at 6:30 am! 🙂 always makes for great entertainment! i can’t get over how delicious all the melted banana trick photos turn out! have a great dayyy
Those creatures are the cutest! I want one!
That’s a Muscovy Duck! Not to be confused with the Mighty Ducks.

(I just researched the name 5 minutes ago, I’m not that good with birds.) I still like your name though: Chuck Dickens!
I don’t see strange things on my runs, unless construction workers and sewer pipes count. (They are expanding our neighbourhood.) Usually it’s just wildlife (jackrabbits, ducks, birds, beavers, muskrats, herons, foxes, etc.) and the odd person walking their dog. The jackrabbits are starting to look funny now – their fur is starting to turn white and the snow hasn’t come yet.
Hey Sweetie, thanks for the oat creation shout out and pic! I’m so happy you chose it, you’re the best. And, your brulee is a 2nd best 🙂 Have a lovely Tuesday honey and hope life’s treatin’ ya right!

Those birds are CUTE!!!
Aw, poor little ugly chucks!
the past couple times i have gone running, i have run into three flocks of wild turkeys! no lie!
I’ve seen similar birds before, in Florida! I stayed at a resort with a pond and they were all over the place…we took pictures too!!
I often see people sunbathing when I’m out running and this summer I saw one particularly flabby gentlemen in a speedo. LoL, it was a public place too!
