Quality: First factory quality & mint condition
Facts: The Mallard is probably the most widely known wild duck. It is a medium-to-large dabbling duck that is most recognizable by the male's glossy green head and white collar around the neck. The female is an overall brown color, and both sexes have orange feet and a purple-blue speculum with both sides outlined in white. Mallards are very common throughout North America. As migratory waterfowl, they winter south of Canada, throughout the United States south to Central America. Mallards arrive on nesting grounds in northern parts of the United States and in Canada between March and April. Mallards are also common throughout much of Europe, Asia and Africa. They winter and migrate throughout Texas, but they are most abundant in the Panhandle. Wherever Mallards are located, they are most likely found on shallow bodies of fresh water, on lakes, marshes and even flooded fields.
