[QUOTE="Allen, post: 489007, member: 389"] Yes, mallards do exactly that. They build nests out on the prairie (or even in town) and then they eventually take the kids on stroll to find water. There was a period of about 3 or 4 years where we had a mallard build a nest about 20 ft from our front office door. Every year she would just up and disappear with the young'uns as they walked at least a mile to the nearest body of water. As for the survival rate of the ducklings? That I don't know, but I was pretty sure it was the same hen each year because of where she nested. [/QUOTE]
