I found an almost identical picture of the duck I saw today and it was listed as a male feral Mallard. Thanks for your help in the ID of this bird. It may be just a mixed breed of mallard, but I think it is quite pretty...as far as mallards go. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
