One observation I made is that about 75% of the ducks I flushed were black ducks. The other 25% were mallards. When I was a boy hunting the Great Swamp, black ducks were rare. You see them once and a while, but they were not common. I left them alone and never shot them although the law said that I could take one a day. Now, they are the predominant wintering over duck species in the swamp. It's good to see them in numbers, something I never saw in the old days. The woodduck numbers are relatively the same as in the old days but now there seems to be more mallards. So some things do improve over time.
