A friend who lives right on Long Lake, in Lacey, has been having visits
by a pair of Wood Ducks at her feeder. The feeder isn't meant to feed
ducks, and it contains the usual seed mixture. The male and female come
singly to the feeder; they land on the porch railing, walk over close to
the feeder, look at it, don't attempt to feed and then after a few
minutes seem to give up and fly off. The ducks are apparently nesting
nearby, across an arm of the lake. Any idea what's going on here?
