Duck -see also Mallard
The mallard is a typical dabbling duck,
feeding on plants as well as on small animals in the shallows of ponds,
marshes, lakes, and rivers. The male (drake) is easily recognized by
its iridescent green head, which is separated from the chestnut breast
by a white ring around the neck; the body is white, light gray, and
black. The female (hen) is a mottled dull and yellowish brown. Both
sexes have a yellow bill and a purplish blue bar on the wing mark
bordered front and rear with white. Only the females quack. Males can
only whistle and utter drawn-out nasal disturbance calls and similar
aggressive calls direct
