[mou] fighting mallards

[Annette Smith]

Thank you to everyone who has provided me on insight to the behavior of mallards.  I guess my first instincts were correct, that the males were ganging up on the female and potentially harming her.  I never saw the female reappear and now that I think about it I haven't seen any mallards out on the creek since then.  Perhaps the males did drown her and that's why they turned on each other.
