When the duck surfaces, they often rearrange the mussels (or vegetation) in their bill before choking it down and you can often see the food item then. Divers, particularly Cans, often display that "frantic" raft/diving behavior you described. I have pet diving ducks, the action of one duck diving seems to stimulate the others. I've witnessed the "mad dash" of feeding Canvasbacks on pool #8 numerous times. They are constantly diving and moving forward in the raft, as if in some sort of race.=20 P.S. I was at pool #8 this past Sunday, talk about a spectacle! If you're interested in seeing really LARGE numbers of waterfowl, that is the place to be.=20 ------_=_NextPart_002_01C4DBEA.389FCDE6 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)"> <!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:"Arial Narrow"; panose-1:2 11 5 6 2 2 2 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book"; panose-1:2 11 5 3 2 1 2 2 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Geneva; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:#0080C0; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:#FF8000; text-decoration:underline;} p {mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; font-family:Arial; color:navy;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> </head> <body lang=3DEN-US link=3D"#0080C0" vlink=3D"#FF8000"> <div class=3DSection1> <p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DArial><span = style=3D'font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>FYI.
