I've got 2 wild hens (a Mallard and a Canada Goose) that have decided to nest here at my pond, so I imagine many pairs are searching for a place to nest before moving along. That would explain the differences in the flight paths. Then again, I am 99% certain the Canada Goose pair are full time residents here. I'm unsure about the Mallards but the hen acts exactly like the hen that nested here last year did. They seem to know me when new wild birds are absolutely terrified of me. Their residence doesn't change their risks, but I'm just throwing this out thereI’ve seen quite a few regular flocks of wild waterfowl species flying overhead us traveling south following along the Missouri/Mississippi River but also saw some small groups and pairs heading north recently so it almost seems like even the birds are confused about what to do lately![]()
