Did you know?
Ducks undertake some of nature's most remarkable journeys, flying thousands of miles between breeding grounds and wintering habitats using the sun, stars, and Earth's magnetic field to navigate. Their V-formation flight reduces air resistance for trailing birds, a cooperative strategy that allows entire flocks to travel farther on less energy. Many species return to the same wetlands year after year, responding to seasonal shifts in daylight and temperature.
