Found on lakes, rivers, and in estuaries or along ocean shorelines (though stays with open water in the winter).
- Note on feral birds? Present in Sitka, but not sure about elsewhere - do they make up the bulk of the summer birds?

Local Notes
- Glacier Bay/Mallard: Mallards are the most common puddle duck throughout the year. (edit)
- Haines/Mallard: (edit)
- Juneau/Mallard: (edit)
- Ketchikan/Mallard: (edit)
- Sitka/Mallard: Common in migration and through the winter. Fairly Common in summer in recent years (especially on Swan Lake), but may have been Uncommon previously. Best seen in summer at Swan Lake (where nesting occurs annually), also at Starrigavan and Totem Park. Resident population, especially at Swan Lake, probably includes descendants of released domestic birds. (edit)
