Geocache Description:

THE KUCHYNKA POND/ THE CANADIAN CONNECTION

Souradnice Vas privedou na misto, ktere je oazou klidu temer v centru mesta Hranice, a ktere radi navstevuji clenove GCS Teamu, ktery je rovnez spravcem teto kesky . Jedna se o rybnik Kuchynka, ktery je hnizdistem sirokeho mnozstvi ptactva a zije zde zaroven nekolik druhu ryb. O rybnik a okoli se stara Ceský rybárský svaz, místní organizace Hranice, ktery zde kazdorocne porada mimo jiné i rybarske zavody "Chyt a pust".

The cache is hiden on the quiet place located almost in the center of Hranice City and often visited by members of the CGS Team, caretakers of this cache.The Kuchynka Pond host several kinds of fishes and the surrounding territory - especially the small island in the middle of the pond - is known as a breeding place to many different varieties of birds. It is administrated by a local branch of the Czech Fishing Organization, who also organize each year a sportsman competition of "Catch and release".

Okoli rybnika je vhodne pro prochazky s detmi, ktere zde rady krmi ptactvo suchymi rohliky a je vyhledavanou lokalitou pro majitele pejsku vsech ras, pro ktere zde mesto nechalo nainstalovat i psi odpadkove kose

The surroundings are very popular playing grounds for children who can feed the birds and for dogs owners who can use the facilities provided by the city.

Pokud budete trpelivi a najdete u sebe kousek peciva, muzete se pobavit pozorovanim nadhernych kacen divokych, ktere maji hnizdiste na ostruvku uprostred rybniku.

If you're patient enough and happen to have some food, you can easily attract several beautiful wild ducks.

Kachna divoka (Anas platyrhynchos) -
zvana breznacka, je nase nejvetsi plovava kachna. Patri take mezi nejuspesnejsi druhy ptaku, ktery se byl schopen naprosto prizpusobit rychle se menicim zivotnim podminkam. Z kachny divoke byla pozdeji vyslechtena Kachna domaci (Anas platyrhynchos f. domestica).
Kachna divoka je velky ptak dorustajici 50 - 60 cm. Hmotnost se pohybuje okolo 690 - 1300 g a rozpeti kridel cini 81 - 95 cm.
Kacer se od kachny lisi hlavne vyraznym zbarvenim, ktere je nejvyraznejsi na hlave a krku, ktere byvaji tmave zelene, zobak je zelonozluty. Jinak je samec sivy, s hnedou hrudi. Na zadnim okraji kridel ma kovovomodrobily lemovany pas. V obdobi rozmnozovani je peri samecka nezamenitelne ze samickou. Ale i zobak poskytuje rozpoznavaci znak: samci ho maji tmave zluty a naproti tomu ho ma samicka hnedy, nekdy az hnedocerny.

The Mallard(Anas platyrhynchos)-
is probably the most recognizable of all ducks, who adapts himself to all kinds of weather. It is with the Mascovy duck, the ancestors of all domestics ducks (Anas platyrhynchos f. domestica)..
The Mallard is 50-60 cm long, has a wingspan of 81-95 cm and weights around seven to eight pounds.
The breeding male has a green head, black rear and a yellow bill tipped with black (as opposed to the dark brown bill in females). The female is light brown. However, both of them have distinct purple speculum edge whit white prominent in flight or at rest. In non-breading plumage, the drake becomes drab, looking more like female, but still distinguishable by its yellow bill and reddish breast

Samicka kachny divoke neni tak pestre zbarvena jako samecek a ma hnedocerne ochranne zbarveni. Jedine napadne misto je na zadnim okraji kridel, ktere odpovida samcimu.
Na vode kachnu nadnasi vzduch. Ten se drzi mezi perim a kryci pera vzduch zadrzuji. Spolu s tukovym vakem pod kuzi zabranuje uzavrena vzduchova vrstva, aby kachna vychladla.
Znamym a nesmirne zajimavym jevem je imprinting (vtisneni) vylihlich kachnat na prvniho ziveho tvora, ktereho vidi a ktery pak pro ne predstavuje po cely zivot schema rodice nebo sexualniho partnera. Nejcitlivejsi obdobi je osma az dvacata hodina zivota, kdy si vtiskava podobu matky, kterou se muze stat slepice, ale i clovek, nebo dokonce i pohybujici se nezivy predmet (napr. mic).
Kachny divoke byvaji hlucni ptaci. Samice vydava kvakave a hlasite „kvak kvak kvak kvak“ (rada slabik z nichz je prvni nejhlasitejsi a nejduraznejsi), samec pridusene a hluboke „reb“, pri vzruseni casto opakovane. Kachny divoke ziji v parech, ktere se tvori jiz na podzim v rijnu a listopadu na spolecnych schromazdistich.

An aquatic diving bird, the duck floats on the water thanks to the air under its plumage and feathers. A specialized fat layer and dense, waterproof feathers help it to maintain appropriate body temperature in cold water.
There is one unique ability to birds alone, especially geese and ducks, which is one of the strongest forces in nature. It is called the imprint. No one really understands what happen inside a bird's brain when imprinting occurs, but the results are unmistakable. Basically a gosling or duckling knows that it is the same species as whatever living creature larger than itself it sees upon hatching or shortly after. If the bird sees a human, it will be a human. Therefore, not dogs or cats, but geese and ducks are the most natural animal companions to humans.
A noisy species, the male has a nasal call and the female the quack, quack, quack, quack always asociated with ducks. Mallards form pairs usually in october or november and stay together until the female lays eggs, at which time she is left by the male.

Jedna se o malou, snadne nalezetelnou kes.
