they are but also Mallards are just huge chonky ducks! We kind of normalize them as "normal duck-sized" because they're so common but they are in fact one of the biggest ducks!
Goodness, the first time I saw the little teals, I was charmed. So tiny! Like pied-bill grebes and ruddy ducks.
The white-winged scoters hanging out in the waters near me are on the mallard-side of the scale. Big beauties.
