Everywhere we look where there is lots of water, we see lots of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), so many that sometimes we forget how very good looking these ducks are! I have photographed many mallards, and they have appeared in numerous Reservoir Duck videos and other videos featuring ducks. You can also find videos of their kids on the Ducklings and Goslings page.
