Ring-necked ducks
A group of 30 to 50 Ring-necked ducks have been at Echo Lake park from mid-February through March.
Mix-breed Mallard
This "odd" Mallard duck (white breast, brown body) has been at Nomhegan Park for many weeks.
In a domestic duck, that's called a bibbed duck. Could have occurred naturally or a domestic duck (mallard derivative) bred with a wild duck and the trait is now "out there".

ReplyDeleteI just saw 4-6 of these last night on a bayou in Western Michigan. Interesting duck!
