Our mallard trio (2 males, 1 female) have nested by the small pond in our backyard. Every day they return and the female lays an additional egg, but isn't she supposed to stay on the nest to incubate?

Female ducks will not incubate their eggs until they have a clutch (normally 12 - 15 eggs). From the sounds of it, she might be already forming a clutch of eggs. She will visit every day to lay a single egg until she is happy with her collection of eggs.
