Of course, I only saw this during a very short period of time in the fall when the grapes in the vineyard had fermented. Interestingly, there was a great deal of heightened sexual activity in the duck community - and I don't think it had any connection with egg laying and procreation. It just seemed to be purely enjoyable recreational sex. In fact, truth be told, I was a little put out by some of the male ducks, who would be actively copulating with a female while at the same time looking up in the sky for their next "date." ;) If there is a paleo lesson to be learned from this, it is probably that paleo peoples would have ingested "wine" only during a short period in the fall of the year. Don't you think? Kath
