Duck Identification Step 2

Step 3: Using Flight pattern

Sometimes the easiest method to identify ducks is to see how they are flying relative to one another.  This requires very little from you, and you don't even need to pick up your duck call.  Are they in a tight group and moving sporadically around constanly?.  You are likely watching a flock of teal careen across the swamp.  Or maybe they are in a loose group and staying within their own respective area. This likely means it is a flock of the the USA's most common duck, the hen and drake mallard.
