Everything's just ducky
Duck in a puddle
McArthur Island park
Kamloops, B.C.
I don't usually pay much attention to mallards, especially the females who lack the flashy colours of the males. But this one really caught my eye for several reasons.
She seemed much larger than the other ducks and was apart from the rest who were milling about in the slush of a largely unused parking lot in the park. While they waddled about foraging, she was having a nice relaxing bath in what was essentially a puddle. It was a very large puddle and was probably a few inches deep, formed from the big piles of melting snow at the parking lot's edge.
Isn't she pretty?
