This sign was to warn you to slow down, as ducks could be waddling across the road. However, it also could just be a warning against all ducks.

You heard the sign - beware the ducks!

Great capture. We've got those kinds of signs here, too... except that they are on the highway, and are of moose. It would be bad to hit one of those at 100+ km/h. s:

Ouch... a moose at that speeds wouldn't just leave a dent behind, it'd leave an empty spot where the front of your car was! :omg:

No one drives fast along these roads due to people/animals walking all over anyway... they're basically used as pathways by the humans and the animals wander wherever they want, irregardless of roads, pathways, buildings, construction zones or metal treatment pools. I think the sign was actually meant for the pedestrians, but why a pedestrian would run into a duck is beyond me. Even if a pedestrian was running so fast it didn't see a duck, I don't they'll see the sign ;)

Our highways are on very hilly turf between fairly thick forest. The moose don't pay much attention to the highway if there's some nice grass they spot on the otherside. Nighttime is the worst, though.

The poor ducks. ^___^

The colours were one of the few things I don't think I touched up in postprocessing... I did my normal brightness/contrast/gamma adjusting, noise removal and sharpening, that's it. That's exactly as the photo was taken, pretty much.

2 weeks later or so the Jackaranda's were flowering... that whole area turned a very bright purple from the flowers.
