anas platyrhynchos

I was on a short trip to Japan and visited few ponds in the city of Tokyo. I got some close shots of Mallards. This Male had the entire pond to itself and its female companion ;)

Another Hybrid Mallard. Apparently a female, no curled tail feathers.

He is another Mallard hybrid. I have gotten so I look at all the ducks at the lake to see if I see any new ones.

Here is the #7 Mallard hybrid. I promise not to post any more. Unless I see some interesting ones.

Here is another Hybrid Mallard. I think this is #6 that I have posted. I don't know where they are coming from, but we sure do have a bunch.

I think this is just another hybrid Mallard, anyway take a look at her brood. This is a continuation of my posting of strange and unusual Mallards. This image was captured at the same lake as the first four Mallards I have posted earlier.

We must have some of the most promiscuous ducks alive on our little lake here in Nashville. This post is in addition to the three I posted yesterday. All seem to be hybrids.

This is my third strange Mallard.

My second strange Mallard.

This duck, I am told is a Mallard. I plan to post two more, all very different.

Very common , but Always a pleasure to see them.

One of a group of Mallard waiting for their turn of the feeder. Its rained quite a lot over the last few days and the water is up by about 30 inch.
