It is dawn around 05:10 on a Sunday morning. The first calls of the  
song sparrow cut through the cool morning air. Mallards and wood ducks  
from a neighboring pond come in looking for their first meal of the  
day. The males of the mallards and wood ducks come together to  
challenge their species. Here you can hear the fighting calls of both  
wood ducks and mallards and competing for females.
