I saw this mallard in October. I was taken with his red head feathers. It was an unusual sighting, a first for me.

Interesting! I wonder if he was a cross and with what parents?

I think it was. Given its range, I was thinking maybe a Northern Pintail was involved 😏

That’s a beautiful photo, Belinda. I think it’s probably a juvenile mallard whose green head feathers are still in the process of growing.
