Started about 10 days ago - shows up in the AM and stays about an hour. Goes around in a circle with its head down usually in the same area in the pond. In 20 years have never seen this kind of behavior. So what is this all about ?
Forgive the poor video - foggy day and shot thru the window as it would stop this behavior if I stepped out on the porch to film.
And.................. no, that is not a real heron in the foreground.
If the nest is too shallow, a duck will certainly eat the eggs. They love fish and amphibian eggs.
