On Mallard Lake. Central Park
A male and female Mallard 'up-end', appear to perform an upside-down version of synchronized swimming, head over heels as they glean aquatic greens from the water's edge. Mallards are 'dabbling' ducks and are primarily vegetarian. They are one of the rare waterfowl species to nest in NYC; most species visit NY exclusively during the winter months. Increasingly, Mallards are hybridizing with another year-round resident - the Black Duck - a primarily coastal species.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
