Duck update
Hello ... Today, Francisco told me that he thinks mama duck laid a couple of eggs and at least one hatched. He has heard baby duck-type sounds coming from the weedy area along the north wall of the building. He made a little puddle in case she needs a small pool for her duckling(s). For now, we should probably steer clear of that area. If you have to work there, ask Francisco for some ways to mask your scent so we don't scare mama duck.

Ducks, like most birds, have pretty poor olfaction. I'm not saying that masking our scent has no effect, but minimizing intrusion into the area is likely to be more effective for reducing stress on the bird.
