Duck identification

Dabbling or Puddle Ducks include the familiar Mallard. Dabblers feed on or near the surface of the water. They are often observed with their head under the water and their tails sticking straight up, as they feed on underwater vegetation, snails or small crustaceans. What you should know: Most species have a brightly colored speculum (a colorful area on the secondaries, best seen in flight). Birds in this group can leap straight into the air, they do not need a running start like most…

Ducks

The Black-bellied Whistling-Duck is a boisterous duck with a brilliant pink bill and an unusual, long-legged silhouette. In places like Texas and Louisiana, watch for noisy flocks of these gaudy ducks dropping into fields to forage on seeds, or loafing on golf course ponds. Listen for them, too—these ducks really do have a whistle for their call. Common south of the U.S., Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks occur in several southern states and are expanding northward.

We put together 17 types of ducks with white heads that you may encounter (including pictures, information, and identification guides).
