Mallards are one of the first ducks to arrive back on the breeding grounds in spring. They are adaptable and may nest near a lake, pond, river, or even woodland pool. Their preferred habitats, however, are the natural grasslands that surround little reed-ringed sloughs, or marshy areas, and potholes on the prairies.
Even in the heart of many major cities, half-tame Mallards waddle ashore from park lakes to take food from the hands of visitors. |

Hi Ziggy! I really like this shot as it is so rare to see a mallard female actually standing. The greys and browns are marvellously accented by her little swatch of blue and by those gorgeous orange legs! She seems very calm, not threatened by you at all. Very nice capture, hope she finds a better nesting place. Well done!
