Thanks to all who have commented. In the area where this was taken is a very large beaver pond. There are cattails and trees lining the pond, as well as scattered throughout the pond. So if you are a pond level, you really can't see much. There is a hill on one side when you can get a better vantage point. It does take you quite far away from the pond - hence the need for the 400mm lens. For this particular scene, there was only one spot, right at the top of the hill where this log and creatures were visible. The cattails couldn't be moved as they were quite far away. I tried moving up, down and across the hill to get any better views, but this was as good as could be had. Certainly many shots were taken, but I liked the body positions of the ducks in this one best (the turtles didn't move too much).
