This 2008 slide presentation reports field methods and mercury (Hg) results from mallard blood, feathers, and eggs collected on the South River. Researchers captured 61 mallards, tracked nesting hens, and analyzed samples for Hg and stable isotopes. Blood and egg Hg were higher in 2008 versus 2007, and 45% of eggs exceeded a 0.80 µg/g LOAEL.
