Field Notes

Description:

The Mallard or Wild Duck is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia.

Habitat:

Wetlands

Notes:

The one that is black and white is a Cross Breed, I call it Duck-Goose. It is about the same size of a Goose, but it sounds like a Duck and hangs out with the Ducks.
