We live in suburban Falcon Heights. I have often seen mallards perched
on roofs but I do not recall seeing more than 3 at any one time and they
did not appear to be sleeping or staying very long. This past week I had
a pair perched on the roof while I mowed the lawn. They were there at
least 15 minutes.When I moved on to the side of the house they flew down
to scrounge under the bird feeder.

On the way back from Craig Mandel’s Fillmore Co trip on Friday evening we
stopped at a restaurant near the Mississippi River. At sunset we saw 7 or 8
drake mallards sitting on the roof of a condo next door to restaurant.
Some were sleeping – others were preening or stretching. It looked like they
were going to roost there overnight. The condo was a 2 story and the roof was
peaked. Has anyone ever seen this before?
