Observation details
One bird looked like a definite Mallard and I checked with people from HBOC who approved of Mallard records and they said that it looked good for a Mallard. The brown on the chest is the normal amount as seen in the photos on the eBird species profile other than the first. It had bright orange feed, a yellow bill, shiny green head, curled tail feathers, a full neck ring. I believe this to be a pure wild Mallard.
