Mallards in flight

Description:

This pair took flight from the lake and I was able to get some shots with my macro lens. "Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing."

Habitat:

Dixon lake
