Need help with some duck info!

[TLWR]

Do not write your paper based only on info you gather from this forum. Even if correctly referenced for the MLA format, having all your information from one source location is not a good plan. Search some sites online and make notes of important things to include in your paper and make a note of the site they came from so you can put it in your sources later. Head to the library or bookstore and see if there are any actual real books with paper in them, that you can find some info and cite as well. You need a wide variety of sources cited for a good research paper, otherwise you aren't really writing a research paper.

And for doing it on your own, but together. That likely means you are to do your own research gathering and writing your own paper, but there will be class time devoted to answering questions or maybe even working on the paper. And you may likely do a quick presentation of your research as well.



Here's an updated way of citing for modern materials

I like Amiga's idea. Chickensioux ,it's the northern hemisphere where most ducks have a difference such as you describe and most all southern hemisphere ducks do not change during the molt to resemble females .Also of note is the really northern species will have a couple molts in a year.

I know not to use just one research point, i have another from liveducks.com and then i have 2 REALLY BIG books on the different kinds of ducks like dabblers, diving and that kind of stuff, and there is a site called easybib.com that you can just type in the book or website and it cites it automatically and we have to cite them on that and she will count them, so i just need to take notes on here and the books and such, so thanks all for all the help and now i think i know what an MLA is so i hope i do good!
