ducks here are really skittish, as wildlife shoul be
I'm more used to the city ducks, the kind that swarm you until you give them all your possessions. But these are okay too.

Made another trip back to Bay City Michigan to check on the feathered friends that hang out by the river. It’s the middle of December and I wondered how many ducks would still be here.
Tumblr media
As you can see, there are still quite a few hanging around. The grey skies are still hanging around too, but I kind of expected that.

This is still looking east towards the downtown area like in the first shot. The river here is at the top of the picture behind that foot bridge and the ducks and geese are swimming in a short canal that runs west a few hundred feet off from the river. I had to approach the group very slowly to get this picture so they would not get all nervous and scatter. Happy Saturday 😃

#MallardDuck
One of Canada's most iconic species across the country.
I spoke with a few Waterfowl Biologists including some of the foremost authorities on duck biology on many occasions and let me tell you that I cherish, or most beloved, Ducks even more. Why?
Because life for a Mallard is really not easy and once they reach adulthood, the survival is about 70 percent per year and that means the chance for a pair to make it through one year together is 49 percent. So if you keep going with that math you will soon realize the chance for them of being together six years is only a 1.4 percent
There are simply too many predators who likes to eat nesting eggs and new borns like Hawks, Owls, Raccoons, Snakes, Skunks, Fox, Eagles, Coyotes, Snapping Turtles, etc…
And lets not forget a tremendous amount of Hunters and I know perfectly well what they will say to defend themselves which is "they are an invasive species!" but so as Humans on this planet and to me nothing has changed, it is "still" an eye opener.
