Mallard Duck
It census takers could count every
duck in North America, it is likely
that they would find more Mallards
than any other kind. There are
tame ones on farms and wild ones
living: in most parts of the conti-

Wild Malards spend their sum-
mers from Alaska to Greenland
and south as far rvs California and
Virginia. In the winter, they live
in the southern half of the United
States, and down into Mexico and
Centra! America.
With tiie change oi seasons, great
flocks of them take to the air They
make good time on their journeys,

sixty miles an hour.
While beating their strong wings,
they watch for pools or lakes of
fresh wrvter where they can live
t;nc! find food. Ir. the water they
get mosquito larvae, injects, snails,
and shellfish. Around the edges
they feed on the seeds and stems
of plants.
Among the weeds and bushes near
the water, the Mallards build nests
of leaves and crass, with linings of
dark gray down. When her nesting
place is ready, the female lays from
six to thirteen large eggs. The eggs
may be light greenish or gray-
brown.
After she sits on them for 20 to
2P days, the ergs hatch. The baby
ducklings, covered with solt yellow
down, quickly learn to walk n,nd
swim.
As ihey grow, the young birds
begin to look more and more tike
