The mallard is a common wild duck. Males are brightly colored with a green head, a white neck ring, and a gray and brown body, while females are mostly mottled brown for camouflage. Mallards live near ponds, lakes, and slow rivers across many parts of North America and Europe. They often swim and dab for food in shallow water, eating plants, insects, and small seeds.
