Odd Duck


Three ducks — a male and a female mallard and the unusual green-billed duck above— were dabbling around the dock at Beaver Lake yesterday.  There are apparently many hybrids of mallards, who breed freely with other duck breeds as well as with geese.

The steers were very close to the fence ;  it feels like being in the middle of the herd.

Late afternoon on the farm.

  1. The body looks like a runner duck but the green bill pushes me to an American Black duck... ducks are fun to sketch aren’t they!
