My favorite duck is the Bufflehead. They look too d*mned cute for their own good. When they take to flight, their wings do no touch the water. When they land, the first thing to touch are the tail feathers. As they continue their landing, they skate on their webbed feet. With so much action and such precise details what's there not to love about these guys?

The easiest way to tell drakes from hens in most duck breeds is to look for the drake's characteristic curled tail feathers located at the top of the tail. Some duck breeds don't have them, however, and drakes can lose them when they molt, so it's good to know the other ways to sex ducks.
If someone at a park is feeding bread to ducks, chances are there are Mallards in the fray. Perhaps the most familiar of all ducks, Mallards occur throughout North America and Eurasia in ponds and parks as well as wilder wetlands and estuaries. The male’s gleaming green head, gray flanks, and black tail-curl arguably make it the most easily identified duck. Mallards have long been hunted for the table, and almost all domestic ducks come from this species.
"In 1930, Flack wrote and illustrated Angus and the Ducks. The first of five books in a series about 'a very young little dog' who is 'curious about many places and many things,' the book is a 'true story about a real dog and some real ducks,' Flack noted. 'The other Angus books are also built around real incidents The cat was Hilma’s cat, and she really did hide on the roof. Wag-Tail Bess was our own Airedale.'" —Mary Brigid Barrett, writing in The Essential Guide To Children’s Books and Their Creators (edited by Anita Silvey).

THE MALLARD DUCK. We should probably think this the most beautiful of ducks, were the Wood Duck not around. His rich glossy-green head and neck, snowy white collar, and curly feathers of the tail are surely marks of beauty. But Mr. Mallard is not so richly dressed all of the year. Like a great many…
The Kooikerhondje is described as a small red and white spaniel like sporting dog. Its most unique feature is its long black ear fringe known as ear rings. Originally bred in Holland as a duck decoy dog, its most important feature is its white plumed tail waving to entice ducks to follow into the eendenkooi … Continue reading "About Kooikerhondje"
A large short-necked, thickset extinct duck, 10% larger than its mottled grey-brown Australian musk duck cousin, with relatively large legs, short wings, a broad bill and a stiff tail. Musk ducks are unusual for their large size difference between sexes, the pungent musky smell males emit in the breeding season, and the huge dark lobe that hangs below the bill.
We adopted Amelia as a young turkey into our sanctuary from a local farmer. She lived with us for five years until her legs gave out, and we had to call our veterinarian to put her to rest, surrounded by her friends in the yard. Until then she hung out happily with the chickens and ducks, and when people visited, she'd fan out her white tail...
