Duck Blind

Water fowl hunting is a big sport on the Eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia. All sorts of water fowl pass through the area during migration. You see these blinds on nearly all the rivers and creeks. It's not everyone's idea of something to do but is very popular.

 

Personally, I'd use the blind to take pictures!

 

The hunters wait in the blind for a flock to arrive. They use dogs to swim out and retrieve the birds. There is a special breed of dog especially for that the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
