<html><div>I usually get calls like this at work, but this afternoon my sister-in-law called me and said she had a duck in a tree crying because her nest fell.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I logically thought wood duck, but their nests usually wouldn't fall unless the whole or part of the tree came down.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>She said no, it's a stick nest and eight eggs have fallen and one is still okay. She wanted to save it.<br><br>I asked her what the duck looked like and she said it was brown and quacking. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I knew that wasn't a wood duck, but I didn't expect a mallard to be likely in a tree. I told her I would come over since she only lives a mile away from me in Burnsville.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I arrived a minute later and sure enough it was a mallard high in a tree and her nest did fall out of the tree. It was maybe an old Cooper's hawk nest. We wired up a basket and put the one lone egg in it. I agreed we could do this (just to make my sister-in-law feel better).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The mallard did come back, stood under the tree and still quacked like crazy. I highly doubt she'll use the basket, but stranger things have happened.</div>
