Taking Flight

Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) are the more tolerant species of ducks and are also one of the most visually stunning. One of the best-known and most recognizable ducks. Mallards are very adaptable ducks that can be found in urban ponds, lakes and parks and other man-made water features in the regions they inhabit. They are the most abundant and wide-ranging duck on earth. Like most migratory birds, mallards fly in the famous V formation. During winter migration, mallards fly south in search of warm weather, often resting at the same spots year after year. Migrating mallards can travel great distances, relying on rivers, coasts, and valleys to find their way. If you have a pond or marshy area on your property Mallards might be attracted to your backyard. Occasionally, Mallards have been known to show up in people’s swimming pools. This Mallard Drake was photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.
