The "Woodies" don't fly away?
And they keep to themselves and don't mix with the other dux?

I'm just trying to figure out why there are two duck lures hanging on that fence post in the back!

Deterring the BoPs or Coyotes?

They’re all looking up and counting the hawks. I counted 20

Hawks or Vultures?
My flock looks like that when they're counting the Turkey Vultures circling in the sky.
When they see a hawk, the predator alarm goes of and everybody runs to the humon's house…

Yes . The most ever. I’ve counted 13, 14, even up to 17 some days. All flying around in big circles overhead. Whenever one swoops a little low, the geese start screaming. I live in a forested area. It’s actually a state park area. My birds have a 3000 square-foot pen with a 6 foot fence and somewhere around 50 different obstacles to hide under such as bushes, tables, chairs, playhouses, etc..

... old pallets on cinderblocks…

But circling birds sounds more like (turkey) vultures. Here the hawks sit motionless in the surrounding trees and wait until everybody has forgotten that they are there and the suddenly swoop down. Fortunately they have learned that these ducks are too large for them and they go for the squirrels, wabbits and (unfortunately) duxlings...
