One steer Not everyone can spend the summer following 10 very special mallards, but everyone with access to the Internet can find out how the nesting season is going thanks to the Mallard Tracker. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DU) has gone online with a project to offer an up-close look at how research biologists gather important information about nest success on the prairies. A few weeks ago, female mallards were carefully fitted with radio transmitters then released onto the research site in southwestern Manitoba. Biologists will tune into the hens' unique frequencies to mark their movements by using radio- telemetry and triangulation. Each week, biologist in the field will update the Mallard Tracker on DU's home page on the status and location of 10 birds. Faithful Internet followers will know if the duck is having a successful first nest, if the first nest was destroyed and a second is in process, or if she is hatching her brood.
