rom an Instagram story to a post. There is a-lot happening in this week old Mallards life. ▪️The male Mallard is called a drake and the female a hen. ▪️Ducks may waddle along slowly, but they can fly pretty fast. At top speed they can hit 70 miles per hour! ▪️Mallards can fly nearly vertical, if needed. This includes taking off from the water almost straight up. ▪️It is estimated that there are over 10 million mallard ducks in North America. ▪️A group of ducks that are flying is called a flock, but when they are on the water the group is called a sord.
