Duck Species List (from A to Z) | with Pictures |130 Species Included

Below is a comprehensive catalog of duck species from A to Z (with Pictures). We have featured the most recognized and widely documented duck species from across the globe. We’ve based our list on the simple definition of duck species: naturally occurring groups of ducks that share common characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. We’ve only included wild ducks (populations shaped by evolution, not by human breeding). So, domestic duck breeds are not included here and are listed on a separate page.

While we’ve highlighted the most notable species, we’re continually updating the list with lesser-known regional ducks and subspecies—so if you don’t spot one you’re looking for or familiar with, it may already be on our watch list.

With what we believe is the most detailed duck directories online, our goal is to help you discover, learn, and perhaps even gain a new feathered favorite to appreciate.
