  1. Oddity

    Oddity

    It was pretty quiet on patch that day, the only other picture I have for you is a Mallard which appears to have some domestic parentage, as he looks rather odd, don't you think. I can't remember seeing another like it up there either before or since (so far)! I did see a Little Grebe in the...

  3. Dabbling male Mallard

    Dabbling male Mallard

    The mallards in this part of southern Oregon (Lithia Park, in Ashland) are used to the presence of human beings, so they tolerate bipeds with cameras. And, of course, being dabbling duck, this chap was busy dabbling away. Fortunately, my shutter speed was quick enough to capture some of the...

    Peregrine Falcon with a Green-Winged Teal

    Outside the frame, a raven was in hot pursuit. The teal was ultimately dropped, and the falcon went away empty-taloned. It has been a dream of mine to photograph the fastest bird in the world; I was so stunned when I got this! Correction: I originally thought this was a mallard, but a forum...

    Cruising

    A male Mallard cruised past the hide. They really can look quite handsome in their summer colours, especially when the sun catches them right.

    Don't get too close!

    I can't believe I've not shown you a Mallard from our Mause feeders before. There's nearly always some around as on the opposite side of the old road is a small pond area that gets filled up from overflow off the hill; presumably to stop it swamping the field beside it or running down the old...

    A Happy Couple

    Towards the end of April, saw us back at Kinnordy. Rather dull light that day, but I thought it made a rather nice image with these Mallards.

  10. Mallard

    Mallard

    Abundant and widespread across the northern hemisphere, this is a female with a newly hatched brood. Waterfowl chicks are precocial, covered with down feathers, eyes open and feeding themselves immediately after hatching. Most birds have altricial young, hatched blind, naked, totally helpless...

    Mallard in snow

    They don't seem to mind the cold or the snow. Ice, however, can be a mobility issue for them. I got a silly little video of Wigeons and Crows skidding about on the ice when it got even colder and the river froze.

    Hello!

    Hi everyone I am new to the group and enjoy taking wildlife photos including birds. Here’s a link to a few of my photos. I’d love to see yours. https://perryproductions.picfair.com/albums/50395-wild-birds https://www.instagram.com/perryproductions_photography?igsh=b3dheXlyNmM1NW40&utm_source=qr
  18. Poor mallard

    Poor mallard

    I took this photo of a flying duck yesterday morning; much to my dismay it turned out to be badly injured. Based on the bite to the wing, I would say it was a coyote or a dog. Odds are pretty good that it was mauled by someone's pet.

    Rather monotone

    The colour of the water didn't really strike me at the time, I just thought it was nice looking at the two Mallard swimming across the loch. End of November did seem rather early to be pairing up though LOL
