    When - oh- when do mallards fly back up north?? I am in Florida...and have 4 Peking ducks. It has been a battle ground since mating season.

    Ducks are cool. One pair is passing the nights in my pond, hopefully they will stay the summer!

    I don't know if my last made it.
    I have had Mallards coming to my yard for the last 5 years. But they are always in groups of three with an alpha male and a beta male associated with a hen. They are 3 to 4 weeks early this year. I have 7 females and any where from 14 to 18 males.
    The alpha male is always between the female and the beta but both protect her from any rogues.
    Right now there is a lot of sparring going on with males grabbing each others necks and wrestling until one gives up. This can last for up to five minutes.
    There is also a lot of head down chasing going on between males and males against females that are out of place.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior. Because it looks like a mating ritual to me and it has happened over a number of years.

    I live on a small creek in northeastern NC. This year as in the past there is one pair, but this year there are two additional drakes rather than one. The paired drake will not let one of the unpaired drakes eat near the hen and will nose-down chase him away if he attempts to. However, the paired drake has no problem with the other unpaired drake. The two unpaired drakes are buddies and often depart together leaving the pair alone, but they don't stay gone long and will eventually return by wobble or flight. The hen is the largest I have ever seen. She must weigh twice what the drakes weigh. They are amazing to watch. There is marsh along the other side of the creek and across the street, but I don't know where their nest is or if they are still looking for a place. They spend most of the day in the creek and in my yard, and they leave just before dark. I've named the pair Elvis and Priscilla, and the other two Jake and Elwood. They usually arrive in the morning by foot, but sometimes by air. Why would something that can fly so well even bother to travel by land? I'm a retired pilot, but I want to come back as a duck next time. To travel at will by land, air or water, and not have to work. What a life!

    My Mallards return to my creek in Michigan every year. This year they are about 4 weeks early. They always are in groups of three with an alpha and beta male with each female. For the past two weeks there has been a lot of sparring between the males. They will grab each others throat and wrestle until one gives up. There is always a lot of head down chasing between males protecting their mates. You can tell the alpha male because he manages to keep between the beta male and the female. But both males protect her from any rogues. I would like to know if more people have observed this behavior. I have had Mallards 5 years in a row. This year we have 6 to 7 females and 12 to 14 males.

    One Mallard drake with a leg injury,It then fell off. I have been feeding him(he can't forrage) and doing physical therapy with food . He is the fastest in the brook at presant with a female running a very close second. I sure could use some help getting him to a sanctuary (along with 2 peking ducks that are over 11 years by estimate).These guys are remarkable in the love of life they exhibit and I want to do anything possible to assist them in longevity and happy play. steggieg

    I enjoyed the video Mallard Ducks in my Swimming Pool. The ducklings trying to jump were so cute. Don't know if you ever watched the HBO mobster series The Sorpanos, but they had an episode where a group of ducks took up residence in Tony Soprano's pool, leading him to much introspection. Enjoyed your lens. All the best.

    I just love ducks. Yes, they are messy. I have spent many years growing up and living on a farm/ranch and they tend to leave messes in places you'd rather they did not, and make sure they stay OUT of the pool! LOL But they are adorable, waddling across the landscape in groups, waggling their tails as they go.

    Watched the mini documentary, we had a male with two females spend some time in our aboveground pool. One couple would show up in our yard, we had the only grass yard on the street. I would turn on the hose and throw them some wheat bread tore up.

    We lived in a little town in Iowa named Mallard when we first got married, they had a huge fiberglass Mallard duck on their town sign, approximately 10 feet long 6 feet high. The real ducks are much nicer.

    I was delighted to find a mallard pair not too far from my mountain cabin. There is so little water here in the high desert that I rarely see ducks (except at one of the reservoirs). This pair had found a perfect little creek originating from a natural spring. It made me happy to discover them. Thanks for this interesting and informational article. Appreciated!

    I'm a pretty serious birder, so I've seen a bunch of interesting birds. It's warbler season, and I've been seeing tons of different warblers; I recently saw my first Cape May warbler, ever. I have yet to see any ducks other than mallards this season...in this area they arrive a little later. I still enjoy mallards though...they are pleasant and often very amusing.

    I really must thank the Mallard duck.... because when I worked as a naturalistic guide and I had to lead a group of children along the river, I was sure to meet at least of couple of them, and children were so happy!!!! They saved my lesson a lot of times ;)

    We've had a pair of Mallards coming for 15 years now for the bird seed. The last 3 years they brought the ducklings. There is a creek running thru our place. I now put out a very large saucer of cracked corn and water about 10-15 feet from the creek. Mama comes this year with 11 fat corn-fed ducklings about 5 times a day to eat. The prior year grown babies come in to feed too. I've seen 2-7 adults come by on occasion to eat. too. I pick up 40 lb of cracked corn at a discount pet food store for about $8.00. It's worth watching them all from my window!

Hoping to have it outside today and that Mom will hear it and come back for this one as well.

There is also no pond with-in "waddling" distance...maybe not even for a 1/3 mile? How will those ducklings get to water so far?

    We have had a pair of mallards in our small pond at the edge of our yard abutting a marsh for several years now. In the spring we put cracked corn on a huge rock near the pond and they waddle up and feed. They loll around all day in or around the pond. Some mornings they are on the rock quacking away because there is no corn. This morning they were quite noisy about it at 0515, and when we finally got up at 0600 and before I could get dressed to go out they came up the steps (2) of our lower deck and then up the steps (6) to the upper portion and were at the door pacing and quacking. They, especially her, must have been starving for after I put the corn out she was eating like it was the last supper!! In the past they have come to the lower deck but stayed on the grass till I come out. Last year they had 12 ducklings and up till the time of fledgeing there were still 12 of them. Can't wait for this years brood. Dan & Jeanne

    Mallards can build nests in the oddest of places, sometimes very high up - the ducklings then have to do a death dive (free fall) to reach the ground. It's amazing to me that they survive.

    I had a mallard and his mate show up at the lake I live on .They were the cutest couple he took such good care of her. After her eggs were laid the male mallard left her Which I have read that that is normal .The day after he left her a predator destroyed her nest now she all alone its been a week and she is still all by herself. There are no other ducks around anywhere.Does anyone know if this normal? Do females mourn? will some other duck come get her.I am so sad for her.The other day we went for a boat ride across the lake we saw a lot of males and females together. Why is she alone.Has she been abadoned forever? I have been on the computer for a week trying to find out the anwser to these questions All it talks about is that the male leaves after the eggs are hatched. It never talks about what happens to her if worst case senerio happen.Please help me know what to do .I have fallen in love with this duck

    Cute lens. I do notice that a male always seems to accompany the hen around even after her babies hatch. I know that all the experts say that the males abandon the females after she lays the eggs, but I see a male with each brooding female, seemingly protecting her. Is this a new male or the father?

    We started out with 6 mallard ducklings, we woke one morning to a massacre of 5 of them.
    The one that was left had an injured bill, but it doing very well, we have named him Lucky (of course) Does he need a pal? We have chickens also and they seem to get along okay.

    I've had the same pair of ducks visiting for the last several years, and have posted a bunch of pics online for those who might get a kick out of them.

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=12976&id=100000526545438

    I figure these are probably descendants of a few ducks I raised about 30 years ago...so I assume this is about 4-5 generations removed, if my assumption is correct.
  • ElizabethJeanAllen May 3, 2010 @ 6:18 pm | delete
    I've never seen them do that, but I've seen other aquatic birds pick on the weaker ones. Part of that is instinct. Only the strong survive, thrive and produce the next generation.
  • ElectroPig May 23, 2010 @ 11:24 am | delete
    Two points: "During the breeding season the male has a green head, white neck ring"

    Actually, the hue of the male's head depends a lot on the time of day, specifically the amount and direction of sunlight. This is why you hear some peopple say they have "blue heads" and others say "green." It really is more dependent on the amount, angle and quality of sunlight, but in strong, clear sun, green it is.

    I've noticed that if you pay VERY CLOSE attention to the neck ring on the males, you can distinguish individuals from one another. The male in the pool this very minute has a milk-chocolate-colored strip in the middle of his white neck band that makes it amazingly easy to see what bird you need to scare away, and what one you want to stay to protect his mate.
  • Taylor May 2, 2010 @ 6:22 pm | delete
    There's a spot I go to down at the river by where I live to feed the ducks. I always notice this one female duck that the others are mean to and never let her have any food. Even last year they did the same thing. Today when I was there I sat and watched them for a while after I fed them and these three males started attacking her and were holding her under the water so she couldn't breathe so I jumped in to save her. I just was wondering why they would do that when it didn't appear that she did anything wrong. It couldn't be a mating ritual?
  • ElectroPig May 23, 2010 @ 11:16 am | delete
    Actually, you're exactly right in your second thought...that's "the mallard mating dance". The males are actually fighting eachother to get to the female, and the female's mate is trying to separate the other males from her.

    I've seen it the last few years in the pool, actually, but only once this year as I got outside i time to chase the other two males away, and the pair have been around long enough to know they were still welcome, so they stuck around, had a nosh... d;o)
  • desertdarlene Jun 3, 2010 @ 4:56 pm | delete
    I've noticed that mallards often mate this way, unfortunately. As to why the other (I assume female) ducks wouldn't let her get any food, I'm assuming it's a pecking order or territorial issue between them.
  • duck lover Jun 3, 2010 @ 6:28 pm | delete
    sadly it is one of the things they do when they mate if the female does not have a male, and sometimes even if she does. It looks like they are going to drown her and they often get tired so I don't know if any do die but I have not ever found one that had been killed......It is very upsetting though!!

    I live about a mile from the water on Cape Cod. I love birds and have a lot of feeders, birdhouses, and a couple bird baths. Last spring I noticed a Mallard duck couple landing in my yard every day at dusk to eat the seed that was on the ground. By late April, they stopped coming, and I missed them. Sure enough about a month ago, they started showing up again!!! This time they come in the morning, and the evening. They land on my roof, and the male comes down first checking things out. After about a minute, the female comes down as well. They take turns eating while the other one watches out. I found out that this is mating season, and as soon as the female lays her eggs, the male leaves her (TYPICAL LOL). Today he showed up by himself, so perhaps she layed the eggs! I will miss them!

    A female mallard duck built a nest in front of our house and sat on ten eggs for the last three weeks. We fed her mixed grains, pieces of apple, and assorted greens. We had a water bowl for her, and she allowed us to fill it from a water bottle, very recently, without protest. Sadly, this morning I found our friend had been attacked and decapitated by some predator. Her body was cold and stiff, and the eggs were so cold they could not be warmed after 30 minutes inside the house. We live in a neighborhood in suburbia, and cannot figure out what attacked her. Her body was in a very small space outside, partially underneath the house. Any ideas on what could have happened? We are very sad and grieving. I had no idea I could come to love an animal so quickly. Any help would be appreciated. Whoever the culprit is would have to be rather small.

    For 4 years a male and female mallard have come in the spring to swim in the water accumulated on our pool cover over the winter. They would then waddle over and eat the seeds on the ground from the bird feeder and bask in the sun. I was never sure if they were the same ducks or different pairs of ducks. Then in the spring of 2008 the female developed a black foot so I knew it was the same couple. Last year she showed up with only one foot. I cried with relief because I worried she would not make it through the winter. We also had other duck couples show up. This year she has not returned and I am truly saddened even though we do get daily visits from other ducks.

    I live at the shore, and every year for the past 6 years, a mallard duck couple come to my back door looking for bread. They show up in the morning and around dinner time and will usually hang around for about 6-8 weeks, then I don't see them until the following spring. I'm assuming they're the same ducks each year. Do mallards mate for life, or have a different mate each year? I assume its the same ducks because they know right where to come and will actually walk into my kitchen. They seem very comfortable here.
    It's cute and everybody asks each spring if the ducks have come yet!

    Great topic. We had a mallard on our farm that was Donald. A dog bit him in the back and I gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation, to no avail. This is still a talking point in the family. It was no easy feat to give mouth to mouth to a duck. Just picture it but we loved him too much to say goodbye. . 5* and fave

    When I go to Alaska on my chefing job, I'm really sad about seeing these beautiful creatures killed for a few bites of duck breast. I'm not passing any judgment on duck hunters, but it still makes me sad to see them dead (the ducks, not the hunters!) Wait a minute - this could be misunderstood. I don't mean that I'd like to see duck hunters dead, no, no! But the birds are so pretty...I dug myself into a hole here. Let's keep it simple - your lenswork is outstanding, Liz! 5*s

    What a cool lens! Interesting topic, visually pleasing and very informative. From one South Carolinian to another, Thanks. I'll be using this lens as an example for improving mine.

    I would call these ordinary ducks - the most common breed of ducks here in The Netherlands. But I guess they have a fancier name as well. Thanks for the info and the great lens.
