I need your help again Tweeters-
I was at Wallace Swamp Creek Park and I heard an unfamiliar whistle. I
was near the pond at the time and there were 10 mallards in the pond. The
high pitched whistle seemed to be coming from the other side of the pond
so I walked over there, then the sound seemed to come from where I had
just been. I couldn't see any other birds around except the mallards and
the periodic whistle continued. I concluded that the mallards must be
whistling. As I watched them it was hard to tell if they were or not but
each time I heard the whistle they splashed around. Perhaps it was an
unseen predator and they were showing their anxiety. any interpretations
of this scene would be appreciated.
