In recent years, nest-success rates have been so low that Minnedosa qualifies as a "population sink". Translation: More ducks set up housekeeping each spring than migrate south in the fall.
Yet despite Minnedosa's apparent lack of productivity, the breeding population of mallards has actually increased, climbing from 10 pairs per square kilometer prior to the 1990s to 16 pairs in the 2000s. Scientists know that given adequate wetland conditions, hen mallards often return to the area where they were hatched, but if Minnedosa is producing so few ducklings, where are all those breeding birds coming from?

Deadline for Christmas Delivery December 19th
There was something about the recipe submitted by Delta Waterfowl member Ralph Nestor of Cashton, Wisconsin that got our attention. Perhaps it was the name: "Teriyaki Goose Spring Rolls with Ancho Chili and Red Currant Jelly Dipping Sauce".
 You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to recognize this guy knows his way around a kitchen (you can't sneak anything past this crew). As it turns out our suspicion was correct. Ralph, who's been retired since 1993, spent most of his career as a teacher and consultant in the food and hospitality business. He still does some writing and consulting.
