Duck migration patterns reveal west to east fall routes
Conservation studies of waterfowl movements from the Lower Detroit River show that several diving ducks use a west to east fall migration toward Chesapeake Bay, while dabblers like mallards and teals follow the Mississippi. Since 1949 nearly 30,000 waterfowl have been banded with recoveries peaking near 26 percent for mallards and most recoveries within 200 miles of the banding site.
