She followed the drake within ten seconds. I think something is going on!

Wind gusts near 50 mph and very chilly at Forsythe NWR. Came back round the dike at the East corner for more shooting. Thought I'd practice my "stealth" approach. All was going really well, well surprising well until: first jogger I ever saw came boppin along. Ducks took off without even seeing me, stealth or no stealth!
