19. Mallard

Date          July 22, 2002
Location     Scioto Lagoon, Dublin, OH




There were a few females foraging in the water. I was able to get quite close.

I remember a few weeks later being puzzled by some strange-looking Mallards at a community park. I later figured out that they were male in eclipse plumage.

While the Mallard is certainly common and sometimes very tame, they are in fact a beautiful bird with its green head, reddish-brown chest, and soft gray back.
