A mallard at the country pond
The mallard is on the shore beside pond reeds, with wooden oars nearby and a decorated Easter egg placed on a stone. The waterside setting brings together a familiar pond bird and objects connected with both boating and Easter. The shore offers the duck access to water as well as firm ground for resting and walking.
Pond facts about mallards and reeds
Mallards feed in shallow water by tipping forward to reach plants and small aquatic animals without diving completely below the surface. Reeds along a pond can provide shelter for birds and other wildlife while their roots help hold wet soil in place. Ducks spread natural oil over their feathers while preening, which helps the plumage resist water.
