We were at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge admiring a large flock of Lesser Scaups, a species of Ducks, when a Bald Eagle made a flyover. The eagle panicked the ducks and they took flight. My thanks to the eagle.

I wish I could have found these birds at one time and could have claimed they were a family. At least, to me, they are a great example of what a family may be.
