Description
Mallard ducks are so adapted to water that newborn ducks can paddle immediately. Despite their love of water though, the ducks tend to build nests quite a distance from the nearest water source.
Mallards are classified as marsh ducks. They feed by turning upside down in the water and may also eat on land. They can take off into the air straight from the water, much like seaplanes. Diving sea ducks, or scoters, are some of the most difficult to identify.
