Feeding Duck Behavior

A short look at feeding behavior of ducks in a crop of corn. It shows how important cooperative farmers (local farmers contracted to farm the refuge) are to the management of the refuge. Most take pride in what they produce for the purpose of feeding the waterfowl and other wildlife. It usually takes the support and participation of the local community for true conservation to happen on a refuge. We are thankful to our local farmers!

Notice most ducks are mallards, but at the end of this video, a pair of gadwells come into the picture.
