Domestic Ducks and a Coot

Description:

Black ducks are similar to mallards in size, and resemble the female mallard in coloration, though the black duck's plumage is darker. The male and female black duck are similar in appearance, but the male's bill is yellow while the female's is a dull green. The head is slightly lighter brown than the dark brown body, and the speculum is iridescent violet-blue with predominantly black margins. In flight, the white underwings can be seen in contrast to the dark brown body.

Habitat:

Ducks can be found near water sources; rivers, lakes, springs, streams, ponds, artificial water areas like pools, lagoons, etc. Ducks are freshwater birds. Ducks like places where food is abundant, there is a good nesting spot and there aren't any dangerous predators
