3. "Is there a New York State law prohibiting
kids from shooting songbirds with BB guns? This is happening along the Niagara
escarpment where I ride my horse."
4. "Every spring I have had ducks (a male and
a female) who visit my yard and get fed. They usually come a few times a day until
summer when I assume they have ducklings to raise. Last week on a warmer day they
appeared - and they have been coming back every day since - even in the snow. In
fact, during the storm they came right up to my door to get food. Today FIVE ducks
appeard. My question - don't they usually go south? Do ducks mate for life?
Where have these ducks been since August?
5. "What is the proper diameter for the entry hole
to a wren house?
6. "You helped me this past winter when I asked
about what to feed the ducks that appeared at my house. Now that fall is coming I
have some questions if you don't mind. I don't want to alter their cycle in any way
and I am worred that they will not migrate because they don't leave when they have a food
source. Should I stop feeding them in the fall? I want to do what's best for
them. NK
