A duckling beside the reeds
The little bird stands on a grassy bank surrounded by tall wetland plants. Reeds and cattails rise around its small body, creating the kind of sheltered waterside environment used by many ducks. Its side-facing pose shows the duckling’s rounded head, short bill, and sturdy legs.
Curious facts about mallard ducklings
Newly hatched mallards can walk and swim soon after leaving the nest, but they still remain close to their mother for warmth and protection. Dense plants near shallow water give the family places to rest, search for food, and hide from danger.
