Most common duck in Waldo. Mallard can be found mostly in ponds, occasionally in backyards or strutting around Sunnyside Park looking for handouts. Iconic green head and white neck ring. They'll eat seeds, pond vegetation, jab at earthworms and devour most anything people offer them. Hard flappers, they can reach speeds of over 50 miles per hour.
