Anas platyrhynchos
Female Mallard Duck spotted in Brooklyn, NY's Prospect Park.
Large lake in an urban park.
The Mallard was one of the many bird species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae, and still bears its original binomial name. For more information on binomial names, see this Project Noah blog post: http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/2870249...
