There are several Mallard Drakes that come up and eat under the bird feeders on a regular basis. They do a good job of cleaning up the stuff that the birds knock off the feeders. This year, for the first time, there is a new guy in the bunch. It is a male Wood duck. We have never had any Wood ducks around here before. He seems to be all by himself as we haven't seen any others or any Wood duck hens. He is a nice looking fellow and seems to get along with the Mallards just fine. Here are some pictures of the Mallards and the Wood duck.
This is the Wood duck.
Ducks in a row on the way back to the river. They normally walk or waddle, but will fly if startled
This is the bunch that was here this morning. There are sometimes as many as 10 or 12 at one time.
