One spring I saw a mother hen and her ducklings walking across Highway 61 out from Booga Bottom. D@mned things looked like trash blowing up wind from a distance.

Every morning I pour myself a cup of coffee and go check my game camera in the woods behind the house, this morning I got about halfway through the backyard and looked straight up in the air (heard the wings) and it was about five ducks, I could not tell which kind though, but I thought it was strange for them to be around my place. Guess I need to do some scouting

I saw the same ones Steel Shot saw. That would be my answer too.

Speaking of Duck's in weird places. My mounted mallard that was on the wall wasn't their as I walked in my front door the other day. He had some how flown down off the wall after this many years. Come to find out he had a little help from my 60 pund lab. She left a trail leading to her kennel

I was up in the southwest corner of Montana for a class earlier this summer one of our mapping projects was out in dry desert like area that had nothing but sage brush, cactus and rattle snakes. At the end of the day one of my friends had a picture for me and it was of a hen mallard nest that was up under a sage bush. He said that it flushed out after they had been standing next to it for about 5 minutes. It was carzy because the nest was atleast two miles from the nearest water which was the Big Hole river.
Definatly never expected to see a duck out there.
