The ducks that are shot on the Havre de
Grace flats are more edible than the salt
water ducks off the coast of Chlncoteague
or other places in Virginia. This is due
to the fact that the flats arc made up
of wild celery. At high tide there Is about
three feet Of water, and at low there is
never more than two. This enables the
ducks to dive readily and feed on the
celery roots
The most priced duck is the red canvas
