    A tongue sample will be sent to leveretsky for genetic testing.
    It will be interesting to see what it turns up.

    Well that’s neat as heck…it’s also intriguing to me how varied in looks this hybrid can be
    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    I would love to know what he sounds like
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Cool bird, dumb question but would testing show if it is predominantly woodie or mallard and the corresponding percentage of genetic makeup? Also curious with non migratory mallards hanging around with wood ducks is there a higher chance to get more hybridization then say with two migratory birds?

    Not a dumb question.
    1. It can only be 50/50 given that hybrid offspring between woodies and mallards are sterile.
    2. Most of our local "summer duck" wood ducks migrate out to South GA, with the bulk heading to North FL for the winter.
    3. Our "summer ducks" are usually back up here to us by March, giving tamie mallards ample time to breed with them, but there's equally a chance that this bird has northeast parents mating anywhere from Ohio to upstate NY.


    I'm sure that tamies mate with our summer ducks far more than we know.
    But I would speculate that in that instance, said offspring would migrate to North Florida with their mother, and our best chances at a hybrid mallard/woodie would come from cross-breeding happening in states north of us.

    .......but I was wrong once before.

    Don't disagree with any of that, but far as this topic, has it been proven or is it still conjecture?
