WILDLIFE GALLERY : DUCK AND LOON DECOYS
Black
Duck Decoy
The American Black Duck
is a medium-sized dabbling duck. The adult male has a yellow bill, a dark body,
lighter head and neck, orange legs and dark eyes. The adult female has a similar
appearance. Both sexes have a shiny purple-blue wing patch, which is not bordered
with white as with the Mallard. The behaviour and voice are the same as for
Mallard. Their breeding habitat is lakes, ponds, rivers, marshes and other aquatic
environments in eastern Canada including the Great Lakes, and the Adirondacks
in the US. Black ducks interbreed regularly and extensively with Mallard ducks,
to which they are closely related.
