According to all estimates, there has been a lot of this happening this year. And Delta Waterfowl is giving us an inside look at what it looks like when a mallard duck hatches.
According to their YouTube post, they captured the video during nest checks with Delta Waterfowl research students near Minnedosa, Manitoba on July 10.
“This mallard had a better chance to survive because it hatched in an area where Delta is conducting predator management studies,” wrote Delta Waterfowl. “Historically, nest success has been very low there, but early results are showing increased hatch rates on grass cover blocks where trapping is taking place.”
It’s an amazing video of how important hunters are to waterfowl enhancement. –Brian McClintock
