| Description |
-Photo by Kathy Munsel, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife- Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) When mention is made of ducks, many people first think of the Mallard. Its ability to tolerate human disturbance and adapt to urban as well as rural habitats make it the Northern Hemisphere's most abundant and widespread waterfowl. Females are mottled-brown, with dark brown stripe through the eye, orange bill with black splotching and have yellowish-orange legs. Immatures resemble adult females until males acquire nuptial plumage usually by mid-November. Males enter the eclipse molt in June and resemble hens until mid-September. Wings of both sexes have a violet-blue speculum bordered in front and behind by a pronounced white stripe. They are a common transient and summer and winter resident throughout the state.
