Well.... the ducks “were” here.

Has anyone ever seen this many duck feathers floating in a duck swamp before?

Almost every inch of the surface of water is covered in feathers... As far as you can see..... Of course I didn’t fire a shot.

I’m sure the photo does not serve justice very well, but that ain’t mist at the horizon line near the top of the photo. That’s feathers.

That's crazy.

Man you should have been there yesterday...........we smashed them!!!

Yes a couple times. Makes you think you could open a pillow factory.

I wonder if a trail camera would have captured the action.

Or, if you have some buddies with a great sense of humor they could have turned loose many feather pillows to make you think a bunch of ducks had been there.

Possible they roosted there?

I don’t doubt that’s a roost. I’ve never seen that many feathers before. Wonder if it’s geese too?

I took that photo in the cypress swamp at Yazoo City.

Drove by the slough at Yazoo Coty about 11:00 Sunday morning and you couldn’t have got another duck in there, on both sides of 49. Slam packed full. From the highway it looked like all mallards and gadwall.

I thought I videoed me running my little mud boat through flooded timber/feathers a few years ago but haven’t found it yet. At this place deer hunters I worked with told me where a bunch of ducks were. They had been hunting there for days and said they heard what sounded like hundreds of ducks. They said they were done hunting in there if I wanted to go there. I always scout a place when deer hunters tell me where they “saw” ducks because some of them think if they have seen 2 wood ducks that should be a good hunt. I asked them what kind sounds were they making and the said quacks. So I ride in there in the afternoon with the boat and see feathers like this and run up a few mallards. I go back the next morning and was lucky to kill a couple greenheads. They had disappeared but there had to be thousands and thousands to make that many feathers. I literally rode over a mile through feathers like this.
