Male Mexican Duck (foreground) with apparent mate (female Mallard)
Деталі спостереження
Continuing bird. Likely the same male that has been observed at this location over the past few seasons. Appears to be paired with a female Mallard based on them foraging closely together. All other mallards on the pond appear to be paired as well. See images for identifying field marks. Similar to a female mallard but darker body and yellow bill. There is no male-mallard-like curl in the tail coverts, and the tail is noticeably darker than that of its apparent mate. Both were constantly dabbling while I observed them, but I managed a few images while their heads were above water.
