Twilight Dusk Ducks In Huge Flocks Near Eagle Lake
Residents report an unprecedented spectacle of thousands of ducks flying daily from south to north toward the rice fields north of Eagle Lake. The twilight flights stretch from sundown until dark, creating a continuous river of birds over the lake area. Some attribute it to stricter game rules or a coming colder winter, while others recall similar scenes in their youth. The Eagle Lake Headlight notes this year features millions of ducks in the region.
