Finally Got A Picture Of A Mallard

Well I finally got a picture of a Mallard Duck. My neighborhood just north of Buffalo, NY has Mallards all over the place. They are even protected by town law if I'm not mistaken. They like to walk around right in the road sometimes, even with their little chicks following close behind.

This is a male, and he's just about to take off. The lady a few houses down feeds all the animals who visit her yard, ducks, rabbits, squirrels, etc. Sometimes her house looks like a duck airport, there are so many taking off or landing at any one time.



And off he goes to another duck adventure. This time of year that usually means finding a female to 'play house', if you know what I mean.
