    Blondie's youngsters '22

    I call this easily recognizable leucistic mallard "Blondie". In 2021 I saw her with ... I think it was 11 hatchlings. But then later in the summer she only had one fully fledged youngster with her. This year I don't know how many she hatched, but as of mid-July, 6 of them had gotten quite big...

    What bird/duck is this? New Hampshire, USA

    I saw this duck with a large group of mallards and a couple of American Black Ducks. The duck I am having trouble identifying is the black one with the white breast/chest. Is it some sort of hybrid/sub species?

    It struck me that Aug 11 was pretty late for this Mallard to have a clutch of newly hatched ducklings. Perhaps they're her second clutch for the season? Or the result of a renesting after losing her first nest or clutch?

    Duck fight 3: You're all interlopers! Go back where you came from!

    Grey Duck (endemic to NZ and Australia) chases off the whole Mallard gang. Or at least we can pretend that's the story here. Unfortunately, although I think the Grey Ducks are slightly bigger on average, they are losing territory to introduced ducks (mostly Mallards) and their population is in...

    One last, unrelated, SF shot to finish off the long weekend ... just trying to interpret that Mallard's pose and expression as he watches the Jackdaw take off with a chunk of bread.

    And yesterday, suddenly, there were far fewer Mallards at Gseparken. The Goldeneyes were also mostly gone. Earlier last week there were 50 Mallards there. Also 6 Goldeneye courting just off shore. Now I guess they've all paired off and flown elsewhere to nest.

    I walked along the canal to the Govilon Moorings, where there's a cafe and things for boat people, but not on my side!! A group of 5 Mallard came by, only 3 in this shot though, as I cropped it quite heavily to make it a 'bird' picture;)
