A fella in NC has camera's set up monitoring Wood Ducks. I hate to see it and I know it happens to the ducks that use my nesting boxes but seeing it firsthand, nature is tough.

Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Are the owls grabbing the hens out of the boxes somehow?
Owls gotta eat. Same as worms.
That doesn’t bother me near as bad as the owl that has gotten a taste for herring and follows me along the river - perching and waiting for me to cast.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
The more I learn about owls the more I don’t like them.

Looks like one in each foot. Nice work by the owl.
I bet they were delicious.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

I was running down a remote part of the river the other day and a busted a mom and some hatchings from a blow down. A couple went the opposite way from mom. Owl flew right over my head within 10 seconds and got an easy meal. I felt bad but natures way I suppose.
