Where should it be posted then so those of us that aren't in the loop other
than on this or on FB would have the option of seeing said ducks?
Occasionally I have asked where birds are located but we get no response.
In turn to find out through the grapevine others have found out, viewed the
bird and been able to photograph it and everything else. I totally
understand the hunting aspect of this situation, but those of us that have
never seen this bird and others should have equal opportunity too.
