Female Mallard Ducks at Weaselhead Flats

These ducks were floating on the Elbow River in an area where it feeds into the Glenmore reservoir on the west end of Calgary. This spot is called the Weaselhead Natural Area and is filled with forests, marshes, rivers, and hills. Also, there is an abundance of wildlife further out from most of the hustle and bustle of the city. On this hike, I seem to have encountered quite a few mallard ducks, and from what I can tell, every one was a female duck, which was interesting as I typically find a mix in most other places that I see them.
