Hello hello! I'm Catherine and I also chose to study mallard ducks because I did a small project on them in third grade, many of my questions were left unanswered, and I wanted to find out more! I am observing these creatures at a pond at the Palace of Fine Arts in the city: it is a beautiful place and there are always a lot of tourists around. I have been able to watch some of their courtship behaviors which has been really interesting and the other day I approached them with a fake crow on a stick to see how they would respond to a predator! They reacted pretty dramatically which was exciting. I love singing and my favorite book is Twilight!
