Collection: Various Quebec Ducks

Quebec is home to a wide variety of ducks, attracted by its countless lakes, marshes, and rivers. Among the most commonly observed species are the Mallard, the American Black Duck, the Wood Duck, and the Scaup. These waterfowl play a crucial role in ecosystems, controlling insect populations, spreading aquatic plants, and serving as prey for numerous predators. Each species has its own specific behavior, plumage, and habitat, offering a varied spectacle to observers. Spring and fall migrations are prime times to admire them in flight or while they are stopping over. Quebec is a major migratory corridor for these birds. Protecting wetlands and ecological corridors is essential to ensure the survival of duck populations. These species are also highly prized by photographers.
