A Pretty Green Head

At a riverside park in Eastern Washington, we saw many Mallards, a duck with a bright metallic green head and neck(male).  This duck is abundant and widespread, often found on park ponds all over the country.


On that sunny day, some were fighting over food.

One was about to land.

 

 

Another was walking on the water.

But this one was swimming in a calm water.

"A good Mallard is supposed

to behave like this!"
