Beach Party

Nice story of the encounter with the duck.

I’ve been keeping track of flat-water paddling mileage on Cheat Lake, and the dogs and I hit the 45 mile threshold yesterday. Had a very interesting encounter with a mamma duck, who - sensing that our presence was a threat - feigned injury in order to lure us away from where she had stashed her chicks on shore moments before. She pretended to be unable to fly - flapping across the water away from us - but then turned back in front of the canoe and continued to zig-zag back and forth across our bow while splashing and flapping wildy.
