Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a flock of mallard ducks swimming and resting in a partially frozen river in Wisconsin. Snow blankets the banks and wooden docks, with ice patches visible on the water's surface. The ducks, including males with iridescent green heads, move calmly through the open water, creating gentle ripples. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 film grain and color saturation, offering authentic archival footage for documentaries, nostalgic content, or historical projects.
