in 27 years that my parents have lived here their has always been a small drainage that went thru our field. We had seen maybe 5 ducks in 27 years.
The other day my dad decided to dam up the small culvert that now went no-where and in one day look what showed up.

i guess i will have to get a blind and a bow come duck season.
Huge paired northerns showed up, 2 on the first day and then a total of 8 and 16 on day 2 and 3.
Sorry about the pic quality. these guys were pretty jumpy when my daughter and i tried to stalk in close to them they wanted nothing to do with us.
so these pics were mostly taken from my moms kitchen window thru the binocs.
