I've found that the females in the populations I've observed hang around the water a whole lot longer. Some seem to stay all year, while the males will wander around for most of the summer. I'm sure that varies a lot.

I've heard that both sexes stay close to the water virtually all year in the very Northern parts of their range. That's just word of mouth.
