The Mallards Re-Appeared Today

Post by HunterGKS »

There were more mallards on the Brokensword today than geese.
I am still amazed by the colors of the drakes. The coloring of the
hens is well adapted for their roles as nest sitters. There are some
hens in these pics that I didn’t see at 1st as they blended in with
the branches & grass hanging off the creek bank. It won’t be much
longer before they start to set up “house Keeping.”

Gotta love wild Mallards. Have you ever photographed any banded birds? Do you ever get Black ducks passing thru?

Don't think I have gotten any banded. Mallards & teal, no blacks.
