Iconic duck


When most people think of a wild duck, the Mallard is probably the first to come to mind. The marsh has supported a fair-sized population of mallards all season. Lately they have been feeding at the upper end of the marsh among the cattails, where the water is shallower and there is shelter from the wind. This morning there were about 25 of them there. This shot is of two Mallard pairs, plus a black duck, far left rear.
