MALLARD DUCKS

Feeding frenzy last fall... must have been something
pretty tasty, as about 40 ducks descended upon the
swamp, one sunny afternoon.

Mallards are around all spring, summer and fall... with one nesting pair raising a brood each year. In addition, last year there were three nesting pairs of wood ducks and one single male, right through until fall. Late winter/early spring, a pair of bufflehead ducks had an extended visit, but eventually left for some other nesting site.
