I saw a couple of Common Mallard swimming in a storage pond yesterday afternoon, on the way of my going home. It’s so peaceful that they swimming under the sunset. Pink water of the pond reflected the Mallard more beautiful. Common Mallardis a immigrate water birds both in the U.S. and China.They often fly from north to south part of the earth, even flying though different countied.Common Mallard is called “绿头鸭”(Lvtouya in Chinese Pin Yin), and it’s international name is “Anas platyrhynchos” which is used in academic researches. It’s head is green with a yellow beak. And the up of its neck is also green with a white circle as a end. In Chinese 绿=green, 头=head, and 鸭=Ducks or Mallards. This is why it’s Chinese name from.
