Mallard population at lowest point since 1955 in North America

The Country Today reports western Canada and North American biologists warn mallard numbers are at their lowest since 1955. Lead expert Kent Brace notes fall flight population near 6.7 million, well below the 7.5 million target, with Manitoba Saskatchewan and Ontario ducks funneling into the Mississippi Flyway affecting west central Wisconsin hunters. Local estimates show mallards present but not strong as migration opens.

Mallard populations dip as drought hits prairie ponds

Wisconsin and Canadian experts warn mallards face a precarious fall flight due to drought reducing over 40 percent of prairie potholes. Canada’s western provinces report significant pond losses and plowing of edges, while researchers push to complete a five year study on bag limits to assess hunting impact. The North American mallard fallback trends suggest no immediate closed season, though conditions will shape next spring quotas.
