Baby Ducks?

I received a call today from a lady who said there were ten mallard babies hatched in her front yard yesterday. She was concerned because of predators and busy streets. I assured her that tehy were doing what was natural and the best thing for her to do is nothing.

However, baby mallards in August? They are normally the first babies we see in April. Why are they still having babies so late in the season? We do still have one mallard and one Wood Duck (we think) that won't be ready for release for another two weeks. But in August? If you have an answer (other than weird happenings) I would like to hear it.
