With his buddy keep a wary eye out, this Mallard does some stretching. All I could think was that buddy was saying "Will you just relax!"

Mallard, Drake, Duck, Brydon Lagoon

After rain for 26 days out of 30 in November, the clouds finally broke on the 1st and the sun shone.
Yesterday I managed a short trip to the local duck pond.
Here's a beautiful Drake Mallard. The water was acting just right too!

Sometimes, it's just nice to sit quietly and look out at the world around you.

More Oddities

Shel, Reifel, Hybrid, Duck

This first shot is a Common Shelduck. It was sitting at a trail intersection. Waiting for someone to come along and give it something to eat, I suppose.

This second shot is a Hybrid, I think. Probably a Mallard/Shelduck combo.

Reifel, Hybrid, Duck

when that pesky bit of salad gets stuck in you bill!
Not totally sure, but I think this is another Hybrid. It's got a lot of Gadwall in it, but I'm unsure about the two shades of brown on it's head.
It's pretty none the less.

Yellow Mustache

Reifel, Hybrid, Duck

While at Reifel Bird Sanctuary a couple of weeks ago, I saw a number of different Hybrid ducks.
This one I called Mr Yellow Mustache. If you look close you can see the yellow feathers at the top of it's bill.

Gadwall, Reifel, Hybrid, Duck

Here's three ducks that I'm not totally sure of. I think they are Gadwalls, but then again?
This single may be a Gadwall/Mallard hybrid. It has an extra stripe on it's wings (the light brown one), but the black and brown stripe are consistent with a Gadwall.

These two, I'm pretty sure are female Gadwalls.

Still Together

Reifel, Scaup, Duck

After the pressures of the previous two seasons, these Scaup are still together. Autumn brings a rush of it's own, but for this afternoon, it's time for a quite swim around the bog.
I'm not sure if these are Greater or Lesser Scaup. There is so little difference between the two.
Coming at you.

Is this our good side!

Them With the Funny Nose

Northern Shoveler, Reifel, Duck

Here's a couple of Northern Shovelers. They make me wonder how they keep their heads above water! Their bills are so large. All the better for sifting through the mud at the bottom of the places they eat.
