Description

What makes a duck a duck? Did you know that some ducks “dump” eggs in other ducks’ nests? What about that ducks that dive in deep water have feet positioned further back on their bodies than ducks that dabble in shallower water? Or that their courtship rituals may involve arching their necks, whistling, and then lowering their bills and spurting water toward the female? This lecture by Senior Park Naturalist Laura Bush will go through common types of ducks and duck-like birds in Hunterdon, and places to find them in our area.
