I was at Hog Hole at about 10:45 am, and in the midst of a small raft of Canvasbacks and Scaup perhaps 400 ft off shore there was what appeared to be an open kayak with a person lying in it occasionally taking smart phone photos of the ducks. I only saw the back of this person's head and one end of the kayak. Near the shore there were two men in camouflage, apparently hunters, standing in the water with their aluminum motor boat in front of them, looking at the raft and presumably the person in the midst of it. I'm guessing that this person was protecting the raft from the hunters, (and if so, thanks!) but I'm not sure. Does anyone know about this? Marsha Kardon
