i can never seem to capture a squirrel not for the lack of trying tho so this for me is now a mission, i wont rest until i get one lol

This is a prime example as to why photographers need to know their camera/photography inside and out. So you can switch from one subject to another within a split second. (that includes changing lenses if need to be)

My comment wasn't really stating YOU do not know your camera. My comment was more stating in general photographers need to know their equipment for any situation that come about if they want to shoot the subject.
I can understand shooting one thing that is on the ground, and seeing a bird flying above. I have no problem going from one subject to another. I do it all the time. If you really wanted that shot of the ducks, you would have taken the shot.
Really, if you were going to use the same lens and if the ducks were as close as you say they were. You could have quickly moved the camera from the dog, to the ducks to get the shot.
Hmmm, which is more important....ducks flying above (as low as they were according to you, which doesn't happen all that often) or your dog rolling around in grapes? (which you could have gone back to shooting after the ducks left.)

I believe you that the ducks were low. Been there. Just the other week I was out on a dock, ass early in the morning and two ducks flew right past my head. Like you, I could have pet them as they flew by. I didn't bother to take their picture, because this was before the sun even came up.
Sorry, never came across a grape or yellow field. PA sucks. lol

At first I rushed to get the gear, and then I thought why start out my photo walk stressed? I know by the time i get the gear ready the deer will be long gone. So I just went about my business getting ready and locking up the car. When I turned around, camera ready, the deer was 10' away, and walking closer. Someone must have been feeding this guy, because he was interested in me. He came right up to me, and was actually so close I couldn't get a good shot. I photographed his back just for evidence that this really occurred, and then a car came over the hill, and he ran off.
Sometimes you have to just enjoy the view, and let the world go by without photographing it. One thing I know for sure, goldfinches, squirrels, rabbits, etc... will come back if there is food. Just wait a few minutes.
