The mallard or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.

Husband duck, right, guarding his wife so she can concentrate on eating just before laying eggs, in the nearby park.

Not in this photo, but, for her to eat, he, using his feet, stirs the mud and fallen leaves on the bottom of the pond so shrimps and insects come out of their hiding places !

If everything goes well, she will lay 10 to 12 eggs very soon and ducklings will be born 4 weeks later.

Generally speaking the Gadwall is a pretty plain nondescript duck but with his feathers ruffled the varied colors of his feathers standout much more.

"This bird’s common name (and its scientific name "collaris," too) refer to the Ring-necked Duck's hard-to-see chestnut collar on its black neck. It’s not a good field mark to use for identifying the bird, but it jumped out to the nineteenth century biologists that described the species using dead specimens."

Lovely couple

Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) male appears somewhat dirty from the minerals in the water which are staining the white feathers. Several males were observed swimming around the urban pond south of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The duck couple in our garden. For years they are residents in our garden as soon as spring begins.

Same duck after napping.

This duck is very similar to the female Mallard and is often seen hanging out with the Mallards.
