For more thorough bird information, reference All About Birds, which is what I used for providing the following info.
Necessary mallard facts:

I love these dudes.
I watched so many videos of these adorable things.
Thankfully, mallards are quite common in Cambridge, MA, which is where I live.

Two drakes just chilling together. Sometimes I get jealous seeing them. Perhaps I could have been born a mallard in another life.
I took this in a park in Boston (forgot which one oof). There's so many females here.
These were by the Charles River Esplanade across MIT campus, I believe.
These mallards were randomly on MIT campus when it was like 10°F outside.
