In the winter, some mallards migrate south to the Southeast, Texas, the Caribbean and Arizona, while the summer migration takes them to Alaska. The rest of the country has year-round residents. Look for them in ponds, lakes and urban parks.
Listening for a female mallard may be easier than spotting one, because females call out the familiar 'quack' associated with ducks. Male mallards are silent except when fighting another male.
