Anas americana
Males have a pale brown body with a white belly and a gray head with a white crown and green eye patch that runs to the back of the head. The females are a lot more plain, but both sexes have a blue bill with a black tip.
Quite common, they breed in northern North America, then migrate to the southern half of the US in winter. They prefer open wetlands, such as wet grassland or marshes with some taller vegetation

Nice shots, great bird!
Great work on these captures! Ducks seem to not mind posing for you it seems!
Thank Liam, they are such pretty ducks! One of my favorites
Stunning spotting, Ashley! Killer shots (not literally, fortunately).
Congrats on 300!
