FIELD GUIDE

The story

A mallard with a seven-metre wingspan stands in the village of Andrew, Alberta, about 116 km (72 mi) northeast of Edmonton. Travel Alberta lists it as the World's Largest Mallard Duck, weighing one tonne.

According to Travel Alberta, the duck was built in 1992 to recognize nearby wetlands and lakes, which house large breeding populations of mallards and other waterfowl. The listing gives its wingspan as 7 m (23 ft). It gives no height or length, and it does not name a builder or an artist. Go East of Edmonton, a regional tourism site, also gives a "1-ton" duck with a 23-foot wingspan, erected in 1992 as a commemorative quack to the duck breeding grounds of the local wetlands.

The "world's largest" title is the wording of the Travel Alberta listing. The sources read cite no certifying body, so it is best read as a local claim.

Travel Alberta says the duck sits in the middle of Lions Club Park in the centre of the town. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress, Alberta Provincial Council, places Lions Club Park just north of Andrew, at Highways 45 and 855, so the two sources differ slightly on whether the park lies in the centre of Andrew or just north of it. The Congress's page also mentions the town's small-town charm and Ed Stelmach Avenue, named in honour of local son and Alberta's 13th Premier.

Travel Alberta lists the duck as available year-round with no ticket required. It also names Whitford Lake as a popular spot for birders hoping to spot mallards and rarer birds during spring and fall migrations.

The sources read are brief. They do not say who designed or built the duck, what it is made of, what it cost or when it was last repaired, and no page is dated to the attraction.
