Discover the exciting world of the duck, from a city pond to a remote coastal bay, and explore some of the different habitats that are the duck's home. Could you tell the difference between a male and female duck? Would you recognize a duck in flight? Do you know what its nest looks like? Follow the duck's life cycle, from the hatching of a chick to finding a mate, and find out about the threats facing ducks today and how to feed them properly. This work includes an animal map, locator map, life cycle summary, and "unusual fact" boxes.
