Black Ducks

Postby gadwall2 » Wed Feb 19, 2003 9:33 am

I cruising between farms yesterday and went through a bottom the choquatonchee river runs thru. Water had gotten out on a soybean field and the ducks were all over it. I just parked the truck and pulled out the binoculars and watched. Saw mallards, pintail, teal, gadwall, wigeon and 2 blacks.

I didn't even have to put the nocs up to see them. They were sitting in the middle of a wad of pintail and they were sticking out like a sore thumb. They are some pretty ducks. Good news is that they were a paired drake and hen. Maybe she won't get crossed with a greenhead since he is around.

The sight and sounds of feeding ducks is always fun to watch.

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, count to ten, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you wouldn't look good in prison stripes... and just smile at that dumbass and walk away.
