From Tennessee to the Northwest Territories, this drake mallard migrated 2500 miles in just over a month. He initiated his migration on 3/13/2025 and traveled up to the MN/SD border in just 16 hours! He spent a month jumping around wetlands in the Dakotas until he took off again on 4/16/2025 and arrived in the Northwest Territories 10 days later. He has spent the last month in the wetlands along the Mackenzie River just west of Great Slave Lake.

Waterfowl breeding conditions update.

It’s been an eventful 48 hrs in much of the U.S. and Canadian prairies for ducks. Rainfall totals will easily exceed 5 inches in some areas. This precipitation is a little late to influence settling of some early-nesting dabbling ducks, but later nesting species will likely benefit substantially. Moreover, this rainfall will certainly improve conditions for early broods in late May and early June.

Prairie wetlands are beginning to fill with water as we inch towards spring and temperatures spend more time above freezing. These temporary and seasonal wetlands are very important for breeding ducks as they boom with invertebrates perfect for hens and early broods.
