Fight between two females with ducklings
Observation details
2 females, each with 6 fairly small ducklings. Both along Ausable Point Road, just opposite the Boardwalk and marsh observation platform, on Lake Champlain. One family was foraging just outside the reeds, and the other was farther out but swam in close to first group. The adults lowered their heads and rapidly swam toward each other, ending up in a huge physical fight, scattering ducklings all over. Eventually the groups separated out and continued foraging. Ducklings were actively diving and preening. Continuing here; first reported by Stacey Robinson on 5-16-24.
