Description
This Mallard was photographed on the Ohio River by Marietta, Ohio in March of 2015. The river was flowing more than usual do to the melting winter snow and ice. This duck was attempting to swim up stream.
Perhaps the most familiar of all ducks, Mallards occur throughout North America and Eurasia in ponds and parks as well as wilder wetlands and estuaries. The male’s gleaming green head, gray flanks, and black tail-curl arguably make it the most easily identified duck. Mallards have long been hunted for the table, and almost all domestic ducks come from this species.
