NEAR WHITE CITY, Ore. - A Southern Oregon group is using a specially designed structure to help increase the duck population in the area near White City.

The Southern Oregon chapter of Delta Waterfowl is installing "hen houses". The structures are just large enough to allow Mallards to enter and to keep predators out, and it sits on an elevated metal bar in the middle of the water.

It is the only structure of its kind in Southern Oregon.
