Description

I came across this duck just swimming in a deep puddle after a heavy spring rain. He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely and there were other ducks there as well. When I snapped this photo, it was as if he was yelling to the other ducks, "Hey! I found some good eats over here guys!" that, or he was just laughing. Being that I'm not fluent in Spea-king Duck, I couldn't say for sure ....
(Insert groans here)

Mallard Duck:
The mallard (/ˈm�lɑrd/ or /ˈm�lərd/) or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, the Falkland Islands and South Africa. This duck belongs to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidae.
The male birds (drakes) have a glossy green head and are grey on wings and belly, while the females have mainly brown-speckled plumage. Both genders have an area of white-bordered black speculum feathers which commonly also include irridescent blue feathers especially among males. Mallards live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are social animals preferring to congregate in groups or flocks of varying sizes. This species is the ancestor of most breeds of domestic ducks.
