Out of 6 broods hatched on the lower river only 5 ducklings remain to date. The Hoodie crows as usual have all but wiped them out again. I believe there are ducklings elsewhere that are still surviving, and hopefully will return at a later date. It seems the only way to maintain the duck population is to raise some in safety, until they are too big to be killed by Crows.
