I am watching a Peregrine Falcon nest in a local quarry. On an adjacent ledge on the quarry wall is a Mallard hen on a nest. She has been incubating at least since 4/28. I don't see a safe path to the water for the chicks if they hatch and find this an unusual nest location. I can't find any documentation of a Mallard hen nesting in such a location. I can send a photos of the nest location and the hen on the nest if anyone is interested. Any information appreciated. Mona Bearor South Glens Falls, NY
