Description
These two mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were seen one morning in February 2017 just off my deck on Lake Trant in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Quite a number have been seen pairing off around the lake in what is occurring a bit earlier than usual this year. The male, or drake, has an iridescent green hood that glistens when it catches the light. Both males and females also have iridescent blue feathers in a section of their wings that may best be seen when wings are fully extended.
