Fish and Wildlife Service manages the Refuge and conducts surveys of the migratory waterfowl during the fall/winter seasons. You can find those survey reports on the Blackwater NWR website. Our cam makes periodic sweeps of the action around the ponds, as the birds enter and exit the area throughout the day. Cam watchers might also see bald eagles, hawks, falcons, harriers, vultures, herons, deer, red foxes, and other animals on camera as they fly over or visit the ponds to feed and rest. The Moist Soil Impoundments The area where the cam is located contains man-made freshwater impoundment ponds, or moist soil units, that are designed to mimic natural seasonally-flooded freshwater wetlands. The Blackwater NWR Wildlife Drive separates the brackish water in the river from the freshwater in the moist soil units.

Twice a year, mallards molt, or shed, their flight feathers, temporarily grounding the birds for several weeks until the feathers grow back. Mallards fly in groups called flocks. Like most migratory birds, mallards fly in the famous V formation. During winter migration, mallards fly south in search of warm weather, often resting at the same spots year after year.
Waterfowl Cam at Blackwater NWR* See Waterfowl Cam videos on our YouTube channel! * The Cam The Waterfowl Cam is a project of the Friends of Blackwater, a nonprofit citizens group that supports Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Our camera is a pan-tilt-zoom video camera with a microphone and is mounted on a special pole that we designed and installed on a dike within man-made freshwater impoundment ponds at the Refuge (see gallery below). The cam rotates between a variety of different vantage points every couple minutes (we will occasionally change the views based on the wildlife).
If you see the birds suddenly become airborne, it might mean they were spooked by something, such as a bald eagle. We plan to leave the cam on during the fall/winter migration seasons (October through March). The cam feed is also visible on a monitor in the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center. If you enjoy the Waterfowl Cam and the Osprey Cam, please join the Friends and support our wildlife conservation and education efforts. The Wildlife Blackwater NWR was established in 1933 as a waterfowl sanctuary for birds migrating along the Atlantic Flyway.

How to watch Wild vs. Ducks via live stream on WednesdayThe Minnesota Wild continue their West Coast road trip with a matchup against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night at 10 p. m. ET from Honda Center. The Wild were shut out for a second straight game on Tuesday night, 1-0 to the Los Angeles Kings. Star forward Kirill Kaprizov was tossed in the second period for a hit on D Drew Doughty. It’s unclear if discipline will come down on Kaprizov and he’ll end up missing tonight’s game. If that’s the case, it puts Anaheim in a strong position.

U. S Fish and Wildlife Service staff have the ability to regulate the water levels in the ponds. Water-control structures act as plugs for these wetlands. In the fall, water control structures are closed to capture and hold rainwater. The plants that grew throughout the summer, their seeds and tubers, and a variety of invertebrates then become available to the ducks and geese when they arrive in the fall.
The best time for viewing waterfowl at Blackwater NWR is between October and March, when wintering species such as tundra swans, Canada and snow geese (snow geese arrive with colder weather), and over 20 species of ducks visit the Refuge. The most common ducks are mallards, black ducks, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, wigeons, and pintails. The U. S.

Mallard DuckThe mallard duck's outer feathers are waterproof. The mallard duck's outer feathers are waterproof. Photograph by Marilyn Gould, DreamstimeMallard ducks are the most common and recognizable wild ducks in the Northern Hemisphere. You'll find mallard ducks near ponds, marshes, streams, and lakes, where they feed on plants, invertebrates, fish, and insects. Mallards are dabbling, or surface-feeding, ducks because they eat by tipping underwater for food—head down, feet and tail in the air—rather than diving. Mallards also forage and graze for food on land.

The male mallard duck, called a drake, sports a glossy green head, a white ring around its neck and a rich, chestnut-brown breast. The mottled brown female mallard looks downright dull next to the male's showy feathers. The mallard duck's outer feathers are waterproof, thanks to oil that’s secreted from a gland near the tail. Beneath this tightly packed waterproof layer of feathers lies a soft, warm layer of feathers called down.
