The mallard or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
Generally speaking the Gadwall is a pretty plain nondescript duck but with his feathers ruffled the varied colors of his feathers standout much more.
What the heck.... I know it has only been a week or so since my wood duck series ended, but I couldn't resist posting another shot of a beautiful male wood duck. Call this one an outtake...and Wood Duck Glory for the Easter Holiday.
Enjoy the evening and the Easter Holiday!
