Thank you to everyone who has provided me on insight to the behavior of
mallards. I guess my first instincts were correct, that the males were ganging
up on the female and potentially harming her. I never saw the female reappear
and now that I think about it I haven't seen any mallards out on the creek
since then. Perhaps the males did drown her and that's why they turned on each
other.
