Observation details

Mallard size, all dark duck. Bill appeared dull greenish-gray and not yellow (Female, I believe). In flight the purple speculum was clearly seen with no white border. Pics are pretty blurry/bad, but I’ll see what I can do. Oddly enough, not with the other ducks but hanging with the 2 RNDUs.
