I live around Ross Barnett Res. in Jackson and saw three ducks (Mallards) in a construction puddle behind the new Lowe's and Hobby Lobby at Dogwood Commons at Lakeland Dr. I've also seen local ducks that hang out in a ditch (ditch has no water visible from road) near a grocery store as well.

Just curious as to the strangest place you've seen ducks in season or out?

in a krogers parking lot even though it was by a lake lol
that is the strangest i have seen

There were 3 greenheads in the road (Water was standing ) behind Abners in Ridgeland. I came around the curve and ran over one. I felt bad and took it to the vet and he put it down.

A couple of years ago at my company's headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a couple of Canadas took to living in the parking lot. They had a nest in the bushes that ran along the front of the building. They raised some goslings there, and when it rained they would go down to a bowl-shaped area in the parking lot and swim in the runoff rainwater. They were very territorial and chased people that got too close to the nest, but the people that worked there took to feeding them and they lived there all summer. Haven't been back since, so I don't know if they ever returned.

I saw 200 or so mallards in the soccer fields across the street from my house three weeks ago in some sheet water after a down pour. There was a small group of blue wings with them. The mallards circled, cupped and landed and the blue wings found their own real estate adjacent to the other ducks. These birds were partially made up of park ducks but the majority were wild. It's funny, the wild birds hauled @$$ when my retriever ran towards them (to get a bumper - she will not chase live birds). The park mallards just made sure that they kept about 20 yards between them and ole black dog.

I saw a pair of mallards in a puddle created from some heavy rains just out front and inbetween Wal-mart and Sams on Hwy. 64 in Bartlett/Cordova. Didn't seem to mind all the traffic, but there was a fella walking down the side walk that got em all rilled up!

All the places that I tried to hunt this year. It is really strange to go by and see them ther my the flocks.

i found a dead one in my mailbox over christmas this past year............

i saw some coots in the beer cave up in the chevron

Went to my truck one night last year and some friends of mine had "landed" about 85 divers in the back. I was wondering how they got there.
