Description

A female mallard duck walks across mostly frozen Lake Springfield in Springfield, Missouri, United during the winter season. She was walking around looking for an open area of the water. It amazes me how they stay warm. Mallards belong to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidea. The males have glossy green and blue heads while the females are mainly brown-speckled. Both genders have an area of white bordered black speculum feathers which commonly include iridescent blue feathers especially among the males.
