Death would be easy for the small being, is easy, and yet it lives and so it is treasured as a small entertainment. “The Wood Duck”, rather than take an obvious stance against or for human industrialization and what it does to the ecosystems

    Duck hunting is an absolute passion for me and nothing could possibly interrupt this annual event. For me, sitting out in a duck blind at 5:30 in the morning with the brisk cold air biting at my skin is something I look forward to each and every year.
