Myth of the Northern Mallard arrives in a village near Grantham England
Northern Mallard – male
Northern mallard supposedly nest in Canada and Alaska, are larger than Mallards
That said, the myth of the “northern mallard” has some basis in fact. As the fall migration progresses, and more birds arrive in your area, many of the mallards that you see in the marsh will indeed be from farther north. Once they show up, they’ll hang around with the mallards already in your area.
