Duck hunting is an absolute passion for me and nothing could possibly interrupt this annual event. For me, sitting out in a duck blind at 5:30 in the morning with the brisk cold air biting at my skin is something I look forward to each and every year. Even having to break through a layer of thin ice to make it out to my blind never gets old. The frigid cold on my hands can get unbearable at times, but the possibility of frostbite is never at the forefront of my thoughts. After all, when the ducks
James Thurber’s “The Wood Duck”, published in 1936, splits nature into multiple recognizable pieces, some to be hunted and used for human gain, while others are to be left alone for a distant enjoyment, like merciful gods gazing down upon a simple, weak being.

Duck Quacker Qualities Duck calls were invented to mimic the sound of a female duck and to lure flying birds to hunters’ decoys. They were developed by waterfowl hunters desiring to create the most efficient tool possible and were originally made of metal. After too many hunters’ lips froze to the metal call’s mouthpiece, inventors turned to wood and acrylic plastic. Duck calls mimic female ducks because they make the loud quacking noise people associate with their species. Childhood rhymes such
One day the French duck woke up, and got ready for his day. First he ate and took a shower, then he got his ducklings up and ready for the day. After that he decided that he wanted to take a walk in the forest and explore further. He was looking for a fun day of exploring and finding new things. After a while he smelled sugar and sweets nearby. He followed the scent to a big gingerbread house and saw to kids, Hansel and Gretel eating a big hole in the wall. The duck knew something was suspicious

Aix Sponsa or the Wood Duck is said to be one of the most beautiful breed of ducks in North America. Just is name, Aix Sponsa, means “The Water Bride.” Ever since the first American settlers arrived in the eastern shores of North America people have been mesmerized by the beauty of this colorful animal.

Ducks Unlimited is a North American non-profit organization that conserves wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl, other wildlife and people. Ducks Unlimited was formed during the Great Depression when a group of conservation-minded waterfowlers saw a decrease in waterfowl populations.

His personality shows through actions. He gives new meaning to the phrase: "Actions speak louder than words." His lines are few and almost indecipherable, forcing his actions to speak the volumeof his parts. His personality
On a farm near the state of Oklahoma, there lived a little duck named Dobbles. Dobbles was the most energetic, loud, and crazy duck on the farm. The pond near the farm was his favorite place to play.
