Mallard ducks

Anas platyrhynchos

Description:

Drake with a dark green, iridescent head and white collar, hen is brown and white (the hen is on the left and the drake on the right.)

Habitat:

Columbia River (fresh water)

Notes:

The green of the head and the yellow of the beak are the inspiration for the University of Oregon school colors. I have no idea what happened to the first picture when I imported it; solar wind? Its Andy Warhol-esque quality kind of appeals to me, though, so I think I'll leave it. Same thing happened the second time I tried, and the third. Will return to try again later.
