The exposed open ponds in the Rouge sometimes have a few wood ducks near the shoreline but where water floods into and among the trees there are more ducks. I sat on a partially submerged rotting log while wearing hip waders and a camo net over my head.
Sounding claxon, clang, clang, clang ... photographer dead ahead !

I had no idea that the two of you had even met ... never mentioned you.

I used to hand feed one of his relatives at a lake in NW Mississauga. 8)

That must have been one of those rare carnivorous ducks. Were the hands fresh, or frozen? Did you have help during feeding? I can picture it ... your accomplice with a hand basket full of slaughtered hands ... you doling them out to those blood-thirsty ducks ... "quick, give me a hand"... snap, snap! My duck was fairly sedate, although it did become a little snippy there near the end of the encounter and then I'll admit I did feel like giving it the back of my hand. Good thing I restrained my impulse otherwise they might be calling me stumpy. On a totally unrelated note several octaves higher did you hear about all the lead and cadmium in chocolate? Especially dark chocolate because it contains more cocoa. How did they get the cadmium in the Caramilk? What the heck? Rice has arsenic, no more than two 14 gram servings of alcohol per week (two beers), no cholesterol, no saturated fat, fish contains mercury and now heavy metal in chocolate! Everything is out to get me! And now blood-thirsty wood ducks too.
