Man Feeding Ducks in San Francisco — Clip Details

A man feeds a large flock of ducks from a sack slung over his shoulder in a vintage 1938 home movie shot in San Francisco, California. The scene captures a rustic outdoor moment with the ducks waddling in a congregation near water, likely a pond or lake. Filmed on 8mm film, this archival footage showcases classic wildlife husbandry and free-range animal care. The natural setting includes trees and open space, evoking a nostalgic, documentary-style glimpse into early 20th-century life and rural animal feeding practices.
