Farms, parks, and suburbs in most of North America. Wild range : restricted to south Texas and points south through Central and South America in forests.

Notes:

Another common visitor to the front porch for me to photograph while staying at home due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A mom and a large brew of ducklings.

@SukanyaDatta, Yes they do; it's nice to sit out front and see what critter drops by, from insects to these cuties.
