The pintail is a upland nester. The highest concentrations occur in
open habitat where vegetation is low and sparse. The nest site is almost always within .5
miles of a water source.The female leads the young to
the water source after they hatch. The pintails average clutch size is 8 eggs, ranging
from 3 to 14(2). Incubation of eggs lasts 22 to 23 days(2). The female stays with the
young until the young are able to fly. |
