Sounds like a wonderful day!!!! I’m jealous.
The only errand left is for cracked corn....”duck food”. LOL! The gatherings have been upwards of 50. A couple times I’ve seen them scatter for no reason, then saw the hawk circling. They go back down into the creek. I think there are too many covering branches and they may look like one BIG duck. I’ve never seen the hawk go towards the water.
