I’ll Be Watching You...
This Handsome Duck kept an eye on me as I walked past. Thought of Sting belting out a favorite song from the 80's
"Every Breath You Take" is a song by the English rock band The Police from their album Synchronicity (1983). Written by Sting, the single was the biggest US and UK hit of 1983.
Mallards are large ducks with hefty bodies, rounded heads, and wide, flat bills. Like many “dabbling ducks” the body is long and the tail rides high out of the water, giving a blunt shape. In flight their wings are broad and set back toward the rear. Mallards feed in the water by tipping forward and grazing on underwater plants. They almost never dive.
Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.
