Down Mainahs call em “$hi&t ducks”

Good ol’ ladybird Johnson somehow got them on the protected species list much to the dismay of the fishermen...they claim the “S” ducks eat too many fish.
Before ladybird’s proclamation, they used to shoot them on sight. Now everywhere is overrun with them.

They always show up on the lake in late summer and early fall. I just saw one the other day.

I haven't seen them for a few days, but I saw them on Saturday. Harry Vogel ( director of the Loon Preservation Committee) thinks that is a miracle that the chick has survived with only the male raising it. I hope the news stays good. We still have many boats coming in. In fact on Sunday we had 4 boats rafting in the basin. It is illegal to raft in the basin. It states it right on the L. Winnipesaukee chart. Then again, so many people pay no attention to rules.

I hear ya'!! I am happy to hear they survived as of Sat. I was worried about the male raising it alone too! What a good daddy!!

They've perfected the art of whitewashing and work for free...
