The American Black Ducks are the most numerous of the dabbling ducks at the marsh. Since they are so common, they can easily be taken for granted, so I thought I'd give them a little exposure (pun intended). There's at least one thing that makes this duck stand out - its the 'quack' of the hen of this species that has become the standard sound of a duck. Not all ducks quack! Even the male black duck just makes a croaking sound.
This pair was resting when I caught them this morning, although the drake (yellow bill) lifted his head as I approached.
