Mallards prefer calm, shallow sanctuaries, but can be found in almost any body of freshwater across Asia, Europe, and North America. They’re also found in saltwater and brackish water and are commonly found in wetlands. From fall to spring, breeding male mallards, also known as “drakes,” will sport a remarkable green iridescent plumage on their heads with a white band around their necks. Female mallard ducks, also known as “hens,” have less dynamic mottled brown to tan plumage. Both sexes of mallard ducks have a white and blue speculum along the back edge of their wings.
Each summer, after the 4 to 5 month mating season has ended, male mallard will molt their feathers, and they will be left with a brown plumage like their female counterparts. In the fall, male mallards will undergo a second molt, after which their distinct coloration will return.
This photo was taken at lake Waban in Wellesley, Massachusetts
