<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Hi All,</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> While chatting to a chap in Ingonish today he mentioned that he had some Black Ducks that had raised their broods along the shore of North Bay in Ingonish. I was somewhat disbelieving but he told me where to look and I was able to video a family group feeding on snails?algae?seaweed? I'm not sure what among rocks along the shore.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> He said this behavior had begun when small ponds near the shore had frozen over in late fall and the ducks instead of migrating had adapted to coastal shoreline feeding.This spring they then fledged their young in the new feeding location. This has happened in at least two locations on North Bay. </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> The location did have a strong sulfur smell that may indicate a sewage outfall which has attracted the ducks.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> Has this behavior occurred in other parts of the province and why would it occur? All the best.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> Fritz McEvoy </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> Sunrise Valley CB (near Dingwall)</DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Windows Live Hotmail, with safety bar colour coding, helps identify suspicious mail before it takes your daughter out on a date.
