Found across all of North America and probably the most recognized of all ducks is the Mallard.

It is always fun to capture a pretty series of a Mallard doing a wing stretch!

Did you know that when you hear all that quacking amongst Mallards, it is only the female Mallard? Males don’t quack; they make a quieter, rasping sound.
Now you know who is giving the orders, and who is talking under their breath. 😂
