Crested Duck
Or as I call it, the poofy duck! We started our Sunday adventures at our favorite place, the Hawksbill Greenway in Luray Virginia. This is a new duck to the flocks of mallards and I suspect it's a mallard crossed with a Crested Duck. The peace and tranquility that we find in this place is just amazing. You can wander up and down the banks of the Hawksbill Creek which is a tributary of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River and observe all sorts of wildlife. I once saw a mink running along the edge with a frog in it's mouth and a whole flock of Mallards chasing along quaking for all they were worth! I always see a nice variety of birds here but the Mallard is by far the most abundant, which is fine with me as I do love them! Such friendly, quacky little ducks! :)
