Wood Ducks, Mergansers and Daring Drops … Oh My!

It is the time of the year when I give a callout to my friend Paul down in the NW suburbs of Minneapolis. You should get to know Paul, or more accurately his “bird blog”. Paul has three duck boxes on his property which abuts a small, fast flowing creek. The ducks like his hospitality.

Did I mention that Paul is a retired engineer from Honeywell? We worked together to years and you should know engineers do not retire, they just move on to non-paying projects. In Paul’s case, one of those projects are his wood duck boxes which have an amazing number of cameras which watch the ducks through incubation and then “THE DROP”! You are even able to watch “THE DROP / jump” live via the internet. Last year I had the please of watching the woodducks jump with Paul in a bird blind in his back yard.

Like my blog, Paul’s does not have advertisements or solicitations. He enjoys his birds and shares that enjoyment with his readers.

Perhaps you would like to read my blog post from last years Duck Drop … plenty of photos.
