So who won? Guy on the left looks bigger, but guy on the right seems to have him out-maneuvered ...?
 
Super action take Terry, the Mallards down here are all moulting and at peace with each other!!!

Excellent capture and caption, Terry. Love the colors you caught.
 
Thank you very much Terry, I can get up to five times more photos with my 60D compared to the SX50!!!

Looking at this one again, I'm noticing the difference in their bill colors. I saw one today that had a dash of yellow on the bill's bridge, but was otherwise a pale, watery blue-green :eek!: I wonder if there was some hybridization in the picture there. But this image shows about their normal range from yellow to orange.
