Mystery "M" Word

Miss Jenny Matlock who Manages the classroom over at Alphabe Thursday has assigned her students the Letter "M" 

for this week's challenge.  

I am going to leave my "M" word a Mystery until the last Moment to see if you can figure out what these Many items have in common.  

Monarch butterfly sculpture located in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Magenta  beaked Mallard captured in my cousin's yard 

Pavilion roof Made of rebar located at the highway
reststop in New Madrid, Missouri 

I followed this purple Motorcar into a Mobile Home Park 

Moose sculpture located on a stone Mound in Branson, Missouri 

This Male sheep sculpture faces the Moose in Branson, Missouri 

Mated wheels located in my sister's yard 

Water tower located on a rooftop in Kansas City, Missouri 

This rooster calls my cousin's family in for Meals

This Mass of chain once anchored Massive riverboats on the dock
in Washington, Missouri 

So, have you got that "M" word yet?  I'm sure you already know that all of these Miscellaneous items are Made of "METAL."  Metals are usually Malleable Materials that are also ductile and shiny, that is, they reflect light.
