Welcome to the duck pictures gallery.

Identifying ducks is a very popular hobbby, appealing to a large swath of the population from birders to hunters. The more skilled duck enthusiasts can even identify them while they are in flight.

Most common duck species found in parks and ponds around the United States are either dabbling ducks or diving ducks, depending on their eating habits. The article Types of Ducks provides more detailed information about the differences between species.
