This afternoon at Cherokee Marsh I heard a small squeak, then
another. At first I thought it was the boardwalk I was walking on,
but aluminum doesn't squeak. :) As the squeaks got louder and became
a clamor, I realized they were coming from a flock of 250 ducks
flying rapidly up river.
The lighting wasn't great and it happened fast, but they looked a
little smaller and maybe a little slimmer than mallards.
Is there anything other than wood ducks that fit that description? (I
didn't hear the female "oo-eek" call, just something like the male's
whistling call.)
