Ducks Do Not
Like Airplanes

The Reno Gazette says that ducks
do not like airplanes. at least the Ne
vada ducks are not fond of the gaso-
line propelled birds of the air and
managers of private game preserves
in the state declare that their birds
have flown just because the airplanes
came near the preserve.
George Wingfield has a preserve at
Fallon and according to the caretaker
he was feeding something like 500
wild ducks during the summer and
early fall. Just about the time the
duck season opened a passenger car
rying airplane arrived in Fallon and
made many trips over the preserve.
The ducks gave the big machine the
"once over" and decided that it was
their kind and it was their move.
They did not like to give up the good
feeding grounds, but the head duck
advised his subjectsto :duck" and they
did.
The Reno Gun Club preserve lost
some of its inhabitants about the time
the transcontinental air race was in
progress.
