Lizard on a rock along the path we walked so that I could get a look at part of the park.

Three ducks. I believe that they are mallards.

How about that reflection? I took these from way, way off and much higher up than the surface of the river, with my zoom lens.

I am glad that I managed to get these photos. Maybe some other time I'll be brave enough to walk down into the canyon and luck out with ducks landing on the river again.

Seconds later, they're almost all settled into the water.

I cropped this one so that you can see their green heads which are what leads me to believe that these are mallard.
