On our afternoon walk today I spotted something odd on a roof some distance away. I had my camera so I zoomed in and there they were 3 ducks sitting on the peak of a roof. Can't say I've ever seen that before.

Good photos, Ed! Looks like they have been there before - or maybe their cousin pigeons.

Looks like good way to "get your ducks in a row".

Nope. Don't usually see Mallards perched up high like that. Wood Ducks will perch up high but not Mallards. I guess they wanted to get a better view.

I was taught, just like the mallards, that when someone is likely to shot at you it is best to "keep your head down".

Behind 'cover' works more gooder!:D
P.S. Those ducks are not the only odd thing about that roof! Wonder if the 'roofer' had a chaulk line?

Oh I think he had a chalk line, but it does look like he used left over scraps.

That's a new random pattern shingle; often used on roofs with crooked rig beams. Referred to as Survival Renaissance.

First time I have seen some with varying 'exposure'. If the back be straight(to a chaulk line) the exposed ends are random length!;)
P.S. For sure he did not plan ahead until a few(11) courses below the peak.
