The little Khaki Campbells aren't large ducks so probably easy prey but the Pekin duck is fairly large. I just hope we find out what's taking them.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-46528017458729093572008-06-12T09:18:00.000-02:302008-06-12T09:18:00.000-02:30Sorry to hear about your birds :( When people firs...Sorry to hear about your birds :( When people first told me that their birds were being killed when I lived Alberta and they thought it might have been an eagle, I didn't think that Eagles got big enough to carry away a large duck. That was until I saw one. Was taking a cab into town and there was a bird on the road and it didn't move until we were very close. This huge Golden Eagle flew right above the windscreen, and than I believed the farmers(the cab driver wasn't going to hit the bird, he was about to move the car out of the way). It was huge, but very neat to see such a bird so close. Wish I had of had a camera :)<BR/><BR/>Hopefully you don't lose more birdsJennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.com
