At this time of year, the flooded fields along the Mississippi Flyway are teeming with a variety of ducks. 

Mallards are seen most often,

but other types which winter in the area include Ruddy Ducks,

Northern Shovelers,

Green-winged Teal, Northern Pintail, Gadwall and many others. What a joy to be able to see these ducks during the time that they spend here.

“Wild ducks and tomorrow both come without calling.” ~Russian Proverb
