Currently we are finishing up nest searching and trapping and starting brood drives. Brood driving is catching ducklings! Expect many cute pictures to follow. We set up a holding pen with too long net leads fanning out from them. Two teams set out and each boat drops a person off to walk the flooded vegetation on the shoreline to flush out the broods. When a brood is flushed the boats launch inflatable kayaks to heard the duckings into the nets.
It's a load of fun, but can be stressful.
