I am not real sure what kind of duck it was to be truthfull, It was a little large for a green wing teal. At first i thought it was a mallard. As I got closer i could tell it wasn't so that is one duck i will have find out what it is. The little bird on the rock is some kind of a snipe and should have been in the mud. I was kind of surprised by the way it just sat there on the rock and I never botherd it at all as I paddled by it. I was quite shocked to see it still setting there whenI came back down. It looked as though it was lost just sitting there like that. But, as stated above they really do not see to many people in this area. WhereIput my canoe in near the ripps is a big island called Black Cat Island and the ripps run on both sides of it. Brookies have come out of there up to 4 pounds and I always wanted to try and fish it. I left my canoe hidden up there and will go back in as soon asI can get a chance as i am hoping to catch one of those large brook trout.
