Ducking responsibility: Some people believe that no matter how careful humans are in cleaning their boats and motors, live wells, and bait buckets, there's still nothing they can do to stop aquatic birds, like ducks, from spreading zebra mussel larvae on their feet or in their feathers either upstream or overland to uninfested waters. April 1995
