Morning stillness on the water. Not a sound. Then Flap flap flap. Gliiiiide for landing. Pshhhh splash. Bubbles under water turn to churning froth as beast arises, jaws opening wide then snapping shut and just as quickly going back under. But all is not lost! Duck took off just on time. A few lost feathers float onto the still surface. Duck finds a safer pond to rest.
