Yesterday (June 5, 2022) my wife was going down the Hiwassee River in Polk
County, Tn. with some friends. They saw a few ducks but she knew they were not
mallards. She said there were at least what looked like 2 female adults and
perhaps the others were immatures (perhaps raised in 2022 ?). She managed to
get a picture of the only one that did not fly off immediately. I think this is
pretty unusual for this bird during the summer here but perhaps I am
mistaken.David Stone
