Mallard Pair


We spotted this female and male Mallard Ducks yesterday on a pond in the Elkton Community Education Center.  They serve as a visual representative of what we saw during yesterday’s Elkton Bird Walk, lots of pairing up.  In addition to this Mallard pair, we also so in pairs: Canada Geese, Common Mergansers, Hooded Mergansers, Red-winged Blackbirds, Violet-green Swallows, and Dark-eyed Juncos. We also saw sparrows, crows, doves, and jays in number too large to discern pairs. The point is it’s that time of year and the birds are pairing up to begin nesting.

    Have you ever thought about writing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs?

    I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss and would love to have you
    share some stories/information. I know my audience would appreciate your work.
    If you're even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
