Well, I'm not so sure. Why not give the birds a buzz? When my dad was a kid he used to pour snaps into the rooster. It wasn't so "cocky" after that. Downside of the idea is that the birds will probably fall off the bird feeder.

Hey, that was good. Did you just make that up?...Bob--'For people who like peace and quiet: a phoneless cord'.

4) Stalking a duck can cause severe trauma to the duck. Forrest you
need to respect ducks' rights! One week's quarantine for you too.

How about baking some tranqualizers or anti-anxiety meds into some
bread for the ducks? They don't get very stressed, and you get to
use a slower shutter speed.

What about bringing your dog with you, to herd ducks?

I don't know if dogs and ducks are such a good mix? At least not with the kind of "shooting" we do.

Your other suggestion seems within the limits though. People often throw licquer filled breads at seagaouls when traveling on a ferry just to see them get a kick and drop in the water where they sober up in a snap and go for the next piece of the action. Maybe Digipsych can write some perscriptions for us?

Don't forget Forrest (before you think of too many cunning ideas) that you're on a one week suspension! ;-)

Well, Alex doesn't like water, but he seems to like ducks. He jumped into the pond once, but changed his mind real quick once he got in the water ... and he got a bath when we got back home. I haven't given him the chance to do it again ... don't know if he would.

Hmm... Sounds like a South Park episode...

From ducks, or photography in general?

Our deceased dog Max loved water but he was trained to leave the ducks alone. He was always hot and even when winter started setting in he'd stand in the our lake with only his head above water. He could spend hours like that.

He once caught a duck though. Not to kill it, just to run around with it. He had a big mouth so he could hold the entire duck between his teeth. I chased him around the whole garden and finally had to kick his ba... to get him to let go of the duck. After that he never touched one again. Then he got fond of hedgehogs. He had this once he kept bringing to the house and just laid and stared at it. When he got tired of that he left and the hedegehog went back home.

Since Clicker got a pardon, you're only suspended from stalking ducks.

Glad you liked that one. The idea of soaking grain in wine to catch animals goes back to folklore in many countries. I was reading about Ivan and the Firebird, an old Russian tale, and one version had him lay a trap of wine soaked grain to get close to the magical firebird. I'm researching some Palekh art from Russia. The Mina part I just made up.

Russia sure has a lot to offer when it comes to folklore, art, great authors and composers. Dostojevski is one of my favorite authors and Skrjabin is my number one classical composer. I'd like to visit Russia some time. I hope I'll get around to it while it still has some of it's old stamina left.
