I agree Kevin, in terms of how it imbues the story with a sense of transgression. It also helps to set up a misdirection which makes the moment the brother is shot all the more shocking. We, the reader, have our gaze fixed on the ducks in the distance (perhaps having misgivings about hunting out of season) and then the gun goes off.
