Anas platyrhynchos
Mallard ducks are very common in North America. You can find them near park ponds. The male can be identified by its gleaming green head, gray flanks, and black tail. The female and juvenile mallard are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.
There were two male and one female mallard along a pond edge in a wooded area at Myrtle Beach State Park, Myrtle Beach, SC.
