He knew that they would remain hiding there until frightened out , and that then they would spend the day in some little pond where they would not be likely to be disturbed or where at least no danger could approach them without being seen in plenty of time . There they would rest all day , and when the Black Shadows came creeping out from the Purple Hills , they would return to that place on the Big River to feed , for that is the time when they like best to hunt for their food . Dusky looked up as Blacky flew over him , but Blacky said nothing , and Dusky said nothing . But if Blacky did n't use his tongue , he did use his eyes . He saw just on the edge of the shore what looked like a lot of small bushes growing close together on the very edge of the water . Mixed in with them were a lot of the brown rushes . They looked very harmless and innocent . But Blacky knew every foot of that shore along the Big River , and he knew that those bushes had n't been there during the summer . He knew that they had n't grown there . He flew directly over them . Just back of them were a couple of logs . Those logs had n't been there when he passed that way a few days before . He was sure of it . `` Ha ! '' exclaimed Blacky under his breath . `` Those look to me as if they might be very handy , very handy indeed , for a hunter to sit on . Sitting there behind those bushes , he would be hidden from any Duck who might come in to look for nice yellow corn scattered out there among the rushes . It does n't look right to me . No , Sir , it does n't look right to me . I think I 'll keep an eye on this place . ''
So Blacky came back to the Big XXXXX several times that day .
