Mallard Ducks, October 5, 2016

ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday, and I'd Rather B Birdin'
M is for Mallard Ducks, Anas platyrhynchos

Mallard Ducks (female in front, the  male behind), Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, October 3, 2016
I know I posted photos of Mallard Ducks a couple of weeks ago, but this pair posed so sweetly for me that it was as if they wanted to be on my blog, so here they are!

Mallards are found on rivers, lakes, ponds, and marshes all around the world. They eat grain, grass, small fish and other water creatures, and aquatic plants.

Have a beautiful day!

  3. It is lovely to see your ducks Lea. Super photos of them. I looked all over our favorite park for them yesterday. There were none to be found. I guess they are heading south :)

  6. Hello!:) Hello, I'm also late,...been getting outdoors rather a lot enjoying our lovely warm weather. Very good shots of the Mallards which are beautiful ducks to see, and a pair is even better. Love the touch of blue on their feathers.

  7. When I think of ducks, it's always the male mallard.
