A female Mallard is eating corn strewn onto the south lake ice. When first sighted, she was about 20 feet from the corn and all alone. Another person thought she was dead, but I noticed some head movement. After a few minutes she got up, walked a few paces, and then flew the short distance to the corn. When she walked I noticed that she had a limp. There may be an injury to her left leg/foot. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 2/16/21)
