We have a couple of wild ducks in the yard that have been here for the 2nd year now. I would like to know what kind they are. I thought they were Mallards but the boy doesn't have the green head. Maybe immature Mallards? They have become rather friendly. Wait for food that the hens throw out of the feeder. Taken up residence in the swamp. Hang out while we work in the yard. Just all round cool ducks.

One of them looks like a North American Black Duck. The other one I am not so sure. They are known to hang out with and breed with Mallards so maybe a hybrid.
 
If they have been around for two years they ae definantly matured.. Hmmm.. Not sure. Good luck though!
