Looking for a puzzler? How about hybrid Mallards.
I was watching about 250 Mallards in a Geauga County community pond today,
and I have at least 2 Mallard hybrids that I can't figure out the cross.
Pictures are posted on my eBird checklist and I would welcome any thoughts.
My suggestions are posted with the pictures at
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41793163.
I also had what appears to be two (2) Mallard x American Black Duck crosses
(females). They look like female Mallards except for the dark green bill.
Can hen Mallards have a dark green bill?? I did some searching but could not
find an answer. Pictures are on the same checklist.
Looking forward to your replies,
Matt Valencic
