<<Ducks flying overhead have their quacks attenuated by foliage and the sound is reflected back to the sky to be dissipated into space. The same is true for any overhead sound, not just duck quacks. That same duck held in your hands, and squeezed to make it quack, will echo if your duck call does. The proper statement should have been that quacks, or any other sound coming from overhead, usually don't echo. If there is the right kind of structure nearby that can reflect the quack to you, you will hear an echo.>> I guess you have never owned bottom ground. Ducks swimming on the water never echo. Not woodies, not divers, not mallards. Same day calls do. I owned a duck hunting club for 20 years and have ducks nesting in my ditch now.
