A FLOCK OF MALLARDS AS VISITORS 
“Tf wild rice can be made to grow, ducks will be sure to come in greater numbers each 
year, while regular feeding with corn at proper times may prove an additional attraction to 
whole flocks of ducks during the migration. Tame call-ducks may be introduced, and if 
there are near-by woods, nest-boxes for the attraction of the wood-ducks should be put up” 
(see page 174).

experiences on a game preserve in Connecticut, where low-lying areas have been flooded 
and the wild ducks attracted in increasing numbers each year from miles around” (see
