Description
The light was beautiful in the early morning when this female mallard duck came flying towards me down the stream, looking for a new place to land and dabble for breakfast, or perhaps spend some time preening her feathers in preparation for the day.
Perhaps the most familiar of all ducks, Mallards occur throughout North America and Eurasia in ponds and parks as well as wilder wetlands and estuaries. They are ancestors of most strains of domesticated ducks; the ancestral wild Mallard is a trim, elegant, wary, fast-flying bird. Mallards have long been hunted, and almost all domestic ducks come from this species.
