Nature tells them something we can't know. The best we can do is pay attention and pick up on it.

Right Kevin; I think it's their superior hearing that alerts them to the incoming wing beat sounds of the ducks. And you're right they are alerted long before we are. Heck, most of us are as deaf as a stone.
