Good to hear! Was worried the hail storm associated with the Hugo tornado took out half the baby ducks on the backyard storm wather pond.

A lot of the lakes in central MN are sporting an excellent wood duck hatch as well. In another week or so we should be seeing family flocks take to the skies. Then we’ll really get a good handle on the success rate.
