One day we were researching the Cache River and all it’s glory, and stumbled across a remarkable scientist, Winder, who got on the topic of what he referred to as the “feather edge”. We hadn’t heard of this term before, and found it to be unique yet meaningful!
“As the flood spreads, ducks will orient to what Widner calls the “feather edge,” where water meets land. This is where the most new food will be concentrated and where it’s most accessible to the ducks, so these shallows are where the ducks like to be. They might rest and preen in deep-water areas nearby, but most feeding will take place in just a few inches of water along the outer edges of the flood head.”
