More Wood Ducks!!!
Well today it was HOT again. Worked at the Futch site to get it ready to trap wood ducks. Also had to take up the site at Nicanor because they are going to make the pond bigger and deeper. My boss, his dad and myself sat at Godwin's site. We shot around 6:00pm and caught 10 wood ducks. One got loose from the net and swam away. But we still ended up banding 9 birds. YEA!!. Our total for the week is 26 new birds/4 recaptures. and grand new total is 26 birds. SMILE Since this is our first week. Tomorrow morning we are going to sit on the Lane's site again because they are really eatting lots of corn. I think because it is so dry, the ducks have to hang out in the rivers because the ponds/swamps have dried up.....and Lane's site is right on the river. Looks like we could get a little rain tonight. I sure hope so.
