Hi All
Yesterday evening at Western Shore there was a flock
of about 60 ducks - half and half Mallards and Blacks
with what looked like a Mallard X Pintail mixed in.
The water is open right to the wharf but the coves are
frozen - prehaps the reason this spot was picked for a
wharf long ago.
The ducks were feeding in the calm water near the
shore - in about 1 meter of water. They were swimming
back and forth with their lower bills in the water.
Every once in a while they could be seen swallowing
something - I couldn't tell what.
Mostly this time of year, I thought they feed on
periwinkles, mussels and other shelled thing but I
doubt these thing would float but thats not
impossible. The water is pretty dense just now.
Anyone know what was for supper?
Have a nice winter
Paul
