Smart enough to come in out of the... sprinkler?

Some people let falling water keep them inside when they should remember they're pre-shrunk. Others don't let a little water stop them and go for it anyway. These guys decided to wait out the 'storm' from my back yard sprinkler last summer:

Togetherness is always better, whether you're eating or just swimming around:

And after my advice to last week's coot to never eat anything bigger than your head, I could tell this mallard to "...go ahead, eat it, it's OK!"
